Congratulations @Shuke_Xiao @alanshtung for such an exciting discovery!! @Shuke_Xiao is on the job market this year, and he’s an absolute rockstar! Any department would be lucky to recruit him!!
Our work deorphanizing MCT6 as the missing gut Lac-Phe transporter is out today @CellCellPress: local gut lactate metabolism influences gut-brain crosstalk, and also explains metformin’s effects on body weight. Congratulations to @Shuke_Xiao @alanshtung!

Another slam dunk evidence on the association of BAT activity and health in humans. Despite all this, I still hear from reviewers that BAT in humans isn't important 🤬 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Congratulations @NeugMonicaElena!!
Congratulations to Professor Monica Neugebauer on receiving a 2026 High Risk, High Reward New Innovator Award from the @NIH! With the award, @NeugMonicaElena plans to explore the untapped potential of nickel-dependent enzymes. Learn more: biochem.wisc.edu/2026/10/06/…

The Kapahi Lab at Stanford is recruiting two Postdoctoral Researchers to lead innovative projects investigating the biology of brain and ovarian aging and the connections between reproductive aging, systemic health, and longevity. postdocs.stanford.edu/prospe…
This is so cool!! Congratulations @Shuo_Han_
The devil wears PRADA and now so can cells! Our latest technology-PRADA (Peroxidase Reaction Activated by D-amino Acids) enables in vivo proximity proteomics, transcriptomics, RNA structuromics, and polymer assembly in diverse model organisms. nature.com/articles/s41589-0…
Congratulations @yangxiao832 This is awesome!!
I’m excited to share that I just joined @MCWPhysiology as an Assistant Professor! We study how genes and the environment shape cardiometabolic health, and we’re recruiting at all levels (technicians, students and postdocs)!
Our collaborative effort to develop tools for mapping the secretomes of rare cell types in complex tissues is now out @CellRepMethods @longlabstanford @JayarajRajagop2. Congratulations @GShipkovenska @LyuXuchao

Congratulations to Professor Monica Neugebauer, who has been selected as a 2026 Beckman Young Investigator! Learn more about how the award will further Neugebauer's work, which aims to expand the chemical capabilities of living systems: biochem.wisc.edu/2026/06/29/…
Huge congratulations to Bingxu!! A great lab with great ideas & science!!
I’m excited to share that I will be joining @ragoninstitute and @harvardmed Department of Immunology as an Assistant Professor in Spring 2027. You can learn more about our research and vision at lsd-lab.org/.
Congratulations to our star trainees, PhD student Rowan Hassman and postdoc Mariah Calubag, on receiving the Biotechnology Training Program T32 Fellowship and the Metabolism and Nutrition Training Program T32 Fellowship, respectively. So proud of you!! @UWBiochem @uwmadisonipib

In @AnnualReviews @Shuke_Xiao and I synthesize two disparate observations (protein lactation and metabolite N-lactoylation) into a coherent framework. We argue that a common function is in information transfer and cellular memory- turning transient states to stable chemical marks
Happy to share a review article wrote by me, Jon, and Andrew on an emerging field: Lactate as a Chemical Modification on Proteins and Metabolites - go.shr.lc/4eq0Ani

As we approach the six-month mark since opening our doors, I'm excited to share our lab website and introduce our team at @SinaiHeartBlood @IcahnMountSinai. Check out what we've been up to and reach out if you're interested in joining us or collaborating! timothyckennylab.com

In the W-S lab's first preprint, we describe how genomic language models know something about RNA thermodynamics. Though we think this is cool, things get tricky!
A growing practice for interpreting LMs is to perturb input tokens, often called "Categorical Jacobian": 👇
Excited to share the first manuscript from our lab! Here we identified a shared enzymatic mechanism linking N-acetylated β-amino acids to energy balance regulation @jbiolchem. Congratulations to our first PhD student, Ruida Li, from @CMB_UWMadison, for leading this work. Grateful for the tremendous support from @JudithSimcox @UWBiochem @longlabstanford @ssiipei
