Joy Edwards-Hicks

Incredibly honoured to have my first paper as PI highlighted in this collection! The idea was do a quick tool paper as start into independence and it turned out to be much more useful than I thought. Read about how to use recombinant biosensors to stain for lipids in fixed cells!

If you’re interested in immune cell metabolism I’m recruiting a PhD student. Deadline: 17th Jan. findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

Delighted to share our paper on adipose gd T cells making IL-17 every night for homeostasis, coordinating lipid metabolism after eating @Nature Huge effort by @Akaron0884 & @BrennethS and the team and collaborators to work this out. Aaron's Tweetorial 👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…

How do cells response to withdrawal of amino acids? It depends on the amino acid. ◼️Lysine withdrawal causes immediate cell-cycle stalling while the withdrawal of other amino acids allow for completion of additional cell cycles.

Fantastic 1st day of #SMN2024 @ScotMetNet here at University of Stirling. Amazing and great talks from carotenoids, pig saliva, clinical, and then nutritional metabolomics! ✨✨

Muscles work hard for a while, they start to burn fat. Same as T cells!, but why? Check this out! Our new study led by Alessio Bevilacqua is published in @SciImmunology ! Thanks for the support provided by @Ludwig_Cancer @CancerResearch @MelanomaReAlli science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We're recruiting! Please spread the word. We're excited for someone to join our team with an interest in biochemistry and/or cell biology. The project will focus on cellular redox reactions that locally activate switches in protein complexes to drive signalling.

MORNING DAY 2: Keynote Talk 09:00 - 09:45 Session 3: Model Organisms: 09:45 - 11:00 Session 4: Quantifying Aging and Morbidity I: 11:30 - 13:00 Poster Session B and Lunch: 13:00 - 14:30
