Delighted to have our work on ovarian cancer highlighted by Cancer Discovery News this week! 😊

Thrilled to share our new study showing that lipids drive immune dysfunction in ovarian cancer — and that blocking lipid uptake through SR-B1 can prevent it! @lydialynch.bsky.social @tcddublin.bsky.social

Our paper @sciimmunology.bsky.social shows certain lipids are responsible for the immunosupression of ascites & propose blocking lipid uptake thru SCARB1 may help immunotherapy in ovarian cancer. Wonderful to collaborate with Donal Brennan, Marcia Haigis & super postdoc @karen--s.bsky.social

Lovely work, congrats to all! 😊

I was honored to recieve the Translational Project of the Year Award at the Irish Cancer Society Awards last week! Thanks so much to the ICS for funding and acknowledging this work, and to @lydialynch.bsky.social for all of the support over the years! 😊🥰

Redirecting glucose flux during in vitro expansion generates epigenetically and metabolically superior T cells for cancer immunotherapy T cell therapies for cancer currently rely on extensive in vitro expansion in hypermetabolic conditions. Frisch et al. demonstrate that T cells grown in vitro perform extensive aerobic glycolysis. Rer...

I'm delighted to share a new story from our lab published today at @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social! In it, we describe how cellular therapies for cancer can be metabolically and epigenetically enhanced by redirecting how glucose is utilized during in vitro expansion. 1/ www.cell.com/cell-metabol...

I’m really proud to announce the 2025 Cancer Metabolism Showcase and Workshop, May 5th and 6th, 9:30 AM - 3 PM EST. This year, our Keynote Speaker is Dr. Jeffrey Rathmell from VUMC.

I'm excited to come together, talk science, and support researchers in our field.

Definitely, super cool study!

Mitochondria consist of networks of cylindrical tubes, right? Not necessarily! - in our new preprint, @gavsturm.bsky.social investigates how mitochondria transiently adopt a beads-on-a-string morphology

GLUT1 overexpression in CAR-T cells induces metabolic reprogramming and enhances potency - Nature Communications T cell activation is a process that requires extra nutrients, which could be difficult to source from the tumor microenvironment in competition with tumor cells. Here authors increase the metabolic fi...

Check out our new commentary on this interesting study by @justinaguerrero.bsky.social and team on Glut1 overexpressing CAR T cells. Excited to see what comes next for these metabolically enhanced T cells!

Delighted to share our paper on adipose gd T cells making IL-17 every night for homeostasis, coordinating lipid metabolism after eating @natureportfolio.bsky.social Huge effort by whole team and collaborators to work this out. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55
