An excellent review of our recent paper on mitochondrial control of fuel switching – thank you!! The bottleneck of fat burning | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

To our surprise, the carnitine biosynthesis pathway influences the optimal efficacy of GLP1-based anti-obesity therapies! You can see the full MS here until it lasts: science.org/eprint/ARC749J….

Our body (cells) have fuel preference, e.g., burning fat vs. carbohydrates, which depends on the environment and nutritional states. How do cells decide which fuels to use?  Our new study found that carnitine biosynthesis is crucial for fuel switching science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@LabSaltiel Congratulations!!!!!

Congrats to Postdoc Danny Son and all of our colleagues and collaborators on this paper.

@TVerkerke Highly recommended!!

The Verkerke lab is hiring at all levels. We apply metabolic and bioenergetic techniques to investigate how pathways are rewired in pathophysiology. Experience in bioenergetics,cancer metabolism, metabolomics, molecular biology is a bonus. Email averkerk@umn.edu to apply!

@TVerkerke @UMN_IBP @KatsuFunai Congratulations!!!! We are so proud of you!!!

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve started my lab at @UMN_IBP! The lab will study bioenergetic consequences of choline metabolism. I am incredibly grateful to have had amazing mentors in @KajimuraLab @KatsuFunai, thank you!

The passing Of Dave Mangelsdorf is a terrible loss for his family, friends and the science world. Davo will never be forgotten. 😢 chapelgazette.cfd/david-mangelsd…

@JudithSimcox Congratulations!!!!!

Congratulations to Barbara Kahn for receiving the Roy O. Greep Award for Outstanding research. Nominated by @KajimuraLab.

@NatMetabolism @Cell_Metabolism @harvardmed @HHMINEWS Thank you!!
