Nwosu Lab

The Nwosu Lab had its first group photo and lab outing yesterday. Huge excitement! I truly appreciate these energetic students that have come to work with me at this very early stage. The enthusiasm is overwhelming, the lab is set, and we have started experiments/learning.

The FY26 HHS Budget in Brief has been released. It outlines how the existing NIH institutes & centers will be combined into eight (with only NCI, NIA & NIAID retaining their original structure). There are 40% cuts proposed in NIH budget (including the NCI). 😢 Cancer Research 📉

We have an open position for a postdoc. Come let us study cancer metabolism together. We have our own ideas but also welcome an ambitious postdoc that is keen to leverage our resources to pursue a different research direction. Please kindly share/repost. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30069

Undergrad in the Nwosu Lab Matthew Cheung is set to present a poster at #AACR25 in Chicago. Grad students @_ahmie and Don-Gerard Conde are also there and all are excited to share their research and network. Please feel free to visit their posters if at the meeting.

A fantastic first PhD seminar presentation today by the @NwosuLab graduate student Chiamaka Ezeh @_ahmie. Chiamaka works on the transcriptional regulation of cysteine/glutathione metabolism, with emphasis on therapeutics. Next stop is #AACR25 in Chicago.

Huge congratulations to the Nwosu Lab PhD student #Don-Gerard Conde for winning the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Minority Scholar in Cancer Research Award for the AACR Annual Meeting 2025! Great timing, right after his impressive seminar today. Thank you AACR!

A nice shot of @NwosuLab graduate student @_ahmie running our triple quadruple mass spectrometer.

Metabolic pathways were a dominant feature in this analysis (to our enjoyment) 💪🏼 And the @NwosuLab has launched several projects based on these observations! Reach out to them for collaborations or to discuss!

🚨New paper dropped from @zeribechike (now @NwosuLab) @Pasca_Lab, @LyssiotisLab in @JCI_insight

We @NwosuLab have learned so much this year. I am grateful to @CornellMBG for the opportunity to work with these extraordinary people. Fantastisch Mannschaft!

Two recent publications with @zeribechike On diffuse midline glioma: nature.com/articles/s4146… On hepatic fibrosis: gut.bmj.com/content/early/…

Save the date! The annual Cancer Metabolism Symposium @NYASciences will be April 8, 2025 @nyulangone featuring another great lineup of speakers @KivancBirsoy @Chiolaboratory @HaigisLab @IntlekoferLab @ThalesPapaG @RutterLab @DanWahlMD @EileenWhitePhD @ElaineFuchsLab

Not one but TWO faculty searches in our department @CornellMBG 1️⃣ Cell & Mol Biol @weillinstitute academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28336 2️⃣ Human Genetics/Genomics academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28554 Outstanding science, supportive community, beautiful environment. We have it all! Spread the word 🙏

For those of you working on metabolism (in cancer, or otherwise), this is an excellent resource for important discoveries in the past ~year. Honored to see our work on #uridine metabolism featured 😊🙏🏼 @zeribechike, @Sajjakulnukit, @LabSadanandam

@NwosuLab is 1 year old today. It has been an exciting opportunity to learn about pancreatic cancer, train students and also receive mentorship. Thank you @CornellMBG @CornellCALS @CornellFirst @Cornell for the phenomenal support.
