Excited to welcome Dr. Saul Villeda from UCSF to Barshop Institute for Longevity & Aging Studies today. @VilledaLab @UTHealthBarshop @SANathanShock

Good to see this MoTrPAC Study Group publication in Molecular Metabolism today. The Long Non-coding RNA Landscape of Endurance Exercise Training sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congrats Dr Anya Kalenta! Dissertation paper #2 Hyperactive Muscle mTORC1 Attenuates Functional Adaptations to Endurance Training Despite Alterations in Mitochondrial and Lipid Profiles | Journal of Applied Physiology | American Physiological Society journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

I am happy to announce that Erik Marchant successfully defended his dissertation today! I would also like to thank his internal committee members for their expert advice: Adam Salmon, Lily Dong, Luke Norton and Dr. Zhen Yan from Virginia Tech. Congratulations Dr. Marchant!

Happy to welcome Dr. Kevin Davy to San Antonio this week. @davykevinp #DavyLab

New paper with some thoughts on … Nutrition for Older Adults: Perspectives on Dietary Guidance for Healt… sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Science is redefining what it means to age. From extending healthspan to tackling chronic disease risk, the latest research is pushing boundaries. @TPR’s The Source breaks down the research with Blake Rasmussen, PhD: bit.ly/45wMc7X

We welcome Dr. Shingo Kajimura to San Antonio this week as our Center for Molecular Metabolism seminar speaker.

We welcome Dr. Jared Rutter to San Antonio as our Center for Molecular Metabolism Seminar Speaker this week! @RutterLab

Yi Zhu, PhD, has received a $150,000 @UTSystem Rising STARs Award to advance aging research & collaborative innovation. The award supports acquisition of behavioral testing and tracking to rigorously assess cognition in aging & Alzheimer’s disease models: bit.ly/4oyTdvI

👏 UT Health San Antonio’s Claude D. #PepperCenter has secured a $6.5M #NIH grant to advance #agingresearch. The funding adds a new Molecular Phenotyping Core + expands efforts to help older adults maintain independence, especially in South Texas. 🧬⏳ 👉bit.ly/46kSHdj

The inaugural cohort of the NIH-funded UT-MSTAR Research Program has completed its training in aging research @UTHealthBarshop. 18 first-year students from 4 Texas medical schools conducted mentored projects, clinical shadowing, and final presentations: bit.ly/3JWUHRL

We are looking forward to hearing from Dr. Teresa Zimmers @tzimmers today in San Antonio.

📢 Join us Sept 10 for the Barshop Institute Fall Seminar Series! 🧬 Teresa A. Zimmers, PhD (OHSU) presents: “Whac-a-mole or Occam’s Razor – Understanding muscle loss in cancer cachexia” 🕓 4–5pm CT | In person & Zoom 👉 bit.ly/4jjeaJw

Sean Kilroe, a productive postdoctoral fellow in the lab, is the first author on a new paper from the lab where we used deuterated water to assess protein synthesis during a week of disuse and exercise rehabilitation. journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

We are excited to announce that Dr. JP Palavicini has joined the Department of Cellular & Integrative Physiology as an Assistant Professor, Tenure-Track, Long School of Medicine at UT San Antonio. His area of research is aging and neurodegeneration. lsom.uthscsa.edu/physiology/tea…

Happy to share a new paper led by Pauline Brochet and in collaboration with some of our MoTrPAC colleagues. Endurance Training Enhances Sex-Specific Cardioprotective Metabolism | Circulation Research ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…
