Congratulations to Peter Tontonoz of UCLA Health and UCLA on his induction as a member of the National Academy of Sciences for his contributions to transcriptional regulation of lipid metabolism. Watch the #NAS159 livestream: ow.ly/OMEy50IVKWb

Still thinking about this excellent talk from Hao Zhu Lab on zonal contributions to liver regeneration and cancer. Impressive mouse work using zonal fate-mapping strains! See the paper science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congratulations to Lauren Uchiyama, of the UCLA-Caltech Medical Scientist Training Program, on receiving 2022 CAP Distinguished Medical Student Award! 🎉 CAPathologists #pathology #path2path #PathTwitter

It is always refreshing and inspiring to listen to the brilliant Hani Goodarzi. Check this out!

An amazing and inspirational mentor, Iswar Hariharan, ईश्वर हरिहर, ஹரிஹரன் ஈஸ்வரன் was my first physician-scientist role model. It was a pleasure to catch up and talk about science and medicine!

Recruiting for a fully funded post-doc position to join our growing team! Here’s a link to our lab website, dm or email if interested. Join an incredible, collegial environment @MSKcancercenter & SKI immunology in the heart of NYC. Pls RT! mskcc.org/research/ski/l…

Everyone studying fat knows that brown fat is “multilocular” (contains many small lipid droplets). But how and why do brown adipocytes organize their lipid stores in this way? Excited to finally share my PhD work on CLSTN3β, now published online nature! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congratulations @carriewongmd !

Yay Lizzie!

Thank you STAR Department of Medicine at UCLA Health and UCLA Gastroenterology and Hepatology for the wonderful experience during fellowship! Grateful for the mentors, role models, and colleagues gained. Onto the next phase! Eric Esrailian Lin Chang E. Dale Abel

Excited to start this week as faculty at UCLA! Our group will study liver lipid metabolism and work toward better care for patients with liver disease. Grateful for mentors who inspired me to pursue this path especially Iswar Hariharan, ईश्वर हरिहर, ஹரிஹரன் ஈஸ்வரன் and Sohail Tavazoie
