Almudena Chaves

Thank you Dr. Lydia Lynch (@lynchielydia) for delivering the keynote at our @MSKPDA #MSKPostdoc Research Symposium! It was a pleasure to hear your journey and insights on how obesity and lipids tune anti-tumor immunity. Truly inspiring! #NPAW2025

Next up: #MSKPostdoc @almudena_chaves, Kravis WiSE Fellow from the @LoweLabMSKCC, is rewiring cell metabolism to help tissues repair and tumors shrink - aiming to create therapies that rebuild the body from within. 🔬💪#NPAW2025 @MSKPDA

🎉 Huge congrats to #MSKPostdocs @almudena_chaves from the @LoweLabMSKCC on this well-deserved achievement! 👏

It’s been a truly special year—full of growth, surprises, and gratitude 🙏 I’m honored to be one of the 2025 Dr. Eddie Méndez Scholar Award recipients! Grateful for the recognition and excited to continue advancing cancer research alongside such an inspiring group of early-career scientists. @MSKEducation @fredhutch @LoweLabMSKCC More here 👉 bit.ly/4jWvT8O

Modulating levels of a mitochondrial metabolite can direct intestinal stem cells to specialise for absorption or secretion go.nature.com/4jIjDsd

Also honored to see our work highlighted in @Nature! Huge thanks to Navdeep S. Chandel and Ram P. Chakrabarty for the fantastic News & Views piece, describing the unexpected role of Ogdh and alpha-ketoglutarate in intestinal healing nature.com/articles/d4158…

Thrilled to share that the last paper of my postdoc is now out in @Nature ! We show how metabolic rewiring through OGDH drives tissue regeneration and stem cell fate. A wild and rewarding ride—huge thanks to @ScottMillmanMD and the @LoweLabMSKCC ! nature.com/articles/s4158…

MIT Biology Catalyst Symposium is part of an ongoing effort to bring outstanding postdocs pursuing academic careers to MIT to engage with members of our community.

The 2025 MIT Biology Catalyst Symposium is happening now! Eight outstanding postdocs from across the country will present their research, make new professional connections, and get to know the department during a three-day symposium in Cambridge

Huge thanks to @MITBiology and the incredible organizers of the 2025 MIT Catalyst Symposium for putting together such a fantastic event! Grateful for the opportunity to be part of it and for the inspiring discussions throughout the last three days. #ScienceCommunity

Honored to be a 2025 Kravis WiSE Fellowship recipient! 🎉 Huge thanks to Marie-Josée Kravis for the support and to @MSKCancerCenter for this incredible opportunity. Excited to keep exploring metabolic reprogramming in cancer and regeneration. Congrats to my fellow awardees!

🔬Congratulations to this year's 2025 Marie-Josée Kravis Women in Science Endeavor (Kravis WiSE) fellowship grant recipients: postdoctoral fellows Dr. @almudena_chaves and Dr. @amujal, and graduate students @heenster96 and Lydia Paraskevi Tsamouri.
