@TimCKenny @IcahnMountSinai Congrats Tim!

@GoedekeLeigh @IcahnMountSinai Thanks so much Leigh, likewise!

@TimCKenny @IcahnMountSinai Welcome to the CVRI and ISMMS, Tim! Looking forward to your arrival and having you as a colleague!

@MiriamMerad @IcahnMountSinai Thank you Miriam!

@TimCKenny @IcahnMountSinai Welcome to Sinai - you will love it here !

Finally, thank you to my recruiters and soon to be colleagues @SwirskiLab @EricJNestler @MiriamMerad @cam_phd @GoedekeLeigh @daniel_puleston. I am so excited to join! I will be hiring at all levels so please reach out if you are interested!

Big thank you to my mentors, institutions, and funding throughout my training @KivancBirsoy, @RockefellerUniv, Doris Germain, @GradSchoolSinai, @NIH @theNCI @NIDDKgov

My lab's first paper is out in @Nature. We show that lipoprotein uptake protects tumors from ferroptosis by delivering the lipid antioxidant α-tocopherol. Surprisingly, tumors use sulfated glycosaminoglycans—not canonical receptors—to capture lipoproteins. nature.com/articles/s4158…

@WeiWei_Stanford @UWBiochem @uwmadisonipib Congrats Wei!!! Excited to follow you and your lab's work!

I'm beyond thrilled to announce that I will be joining the Biochemistry Department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison this fall as an Assistant Professor. My lab will focus on deorphanizing biochemical pathways that regulate nutrient metabolism @UWBiochem @uwmadisonipib
