Busy month for the Flak lab. We have four publications in press. Three available right now. Check it out if you are interested in how GCGR agonism reduces body weight, including mechanisms that involve the brain, or how high fat diet rewires the preoptic area.

@thewilliamslab @SheetsLabIUSM @HyunRohLab Thanks Kevin!

@JonathanFlak @SheetsLabIUSM @HyunRohLab Congratulations!

Check out our new paper, with help from @SheetsLabIUSM and @HyunRohLab . We identify a key downstream node from the Ventromedial hypothalamus in adaptive thermogenesis that is crucial for energy balance. doi.org/10.1016/j.molm…

@lbeutler7 @SheetsLabIUSM @HyunRohLab Thanks Lisa!

Registration open, abstracts until Mar 25 for both days. TRINS speakers include E Reynolds, A Stranahan, V VanLaar, @CamillaScheele, @psweigert, @DarleenSandoval, K Dungan, S Stanley, @DalmBrian, @D_Kroetz_UCSF KEYNOTE Michael Czech. Join us and pls RT!!

Our own Bill Sullivan with an article highlighting the provocative new article that rock music can be used to release insulin in mice. theconversation.com/insulin-inject…

Interested to see what this could do for drug delivery or answer questions about the complexity of diverse hormonal systems when used in combination with other types of cell driver systems.

It’s fall, y’all 🍁🎃🍎@stuckeyfarm

Joining @INBiosciences in the JDRF One Walk supporting T1 Diabetes research. Glad to be supporters in this very important cause ❤️🔬@JDRF #flaklab

Congratulations to all the IBMG students recognized at the White Coat & Milestone ceremony tonight! Special shout-out to Andrew Elmendorf from the #FlakLab in this excellent cohort. Proud to celebrate with them on this big accomplishment. @IUMedSchool

The #FlakLab is enjoying a wonderful dinner together at @stelmo to celebrate my recent @NIH R01 Award. Couldn’t do it without this wonderful team. Cheers! @INBiosciences @IUSM_PharmTox

Congratulations to Assistant Investigator @JonathanFlak on receiving his first @NIDDKgov R01 grant for $1.8 million over five years! The #FlakLab is studying the neurocircuit activated by the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus to control energy expenditure.

Thank you! Happy to keep the work going with this award!

@wjsullivan @NIDDKgov @INBiosciences @IUSMPharmTox @IUSM_PharmTox ...my bad.

@JonathanFlak @NIDDKgov @INBiosciences @IUSMPharmTox And please tag @IUSM_PharmTox from now on, not the old handle

This morning I got the formal Notice of Award from the @NIDDKgov for my R01. After multiple revisions, COVID lockdown, a baby, and lots of ups and downs, I'm happy to see the hard work pay off. Thanks to the #FlakLab, @INBiosciences, and @IUSMPharmTox for helping me get here.
