@DecMcCole @NIH @AmDiabetesAssn @American_Heart @umnmedschool @UMN_IBP Thank you Declan! Look forward to seeing you again in Minneapolis in April.

@RuanLab @NIH @AmDiabetesAssn @American_Heart @umnmedschool @UMN_IBP Congratulations Hai-Bin and Happy New Year! It was a pleasure meeting you and your group at @UMN_IBP last year.

The @RuanLab turns 10 years today. Extremely privileged to work alongside talented and dedicated trainees and lab staff. Very grateful to my mentors, colleagues and collaborators, and of course the support from @NIH, @AmDiabetesAssn @American_Heart @umnmedschool @UMN_IBP etc.

We are accepting applications for fall 2026 for the PhD graduate program in Physiology. Come and join an amazing group of students and faculty! z.umn.edu/ibpgradprog

Excited to share our work on discovery of SLC25A45 as a mediator of mitochondrial methylated amino acid import and carnitine biosynthesis. @Cell_Metabolism @RockefellerUniv cell.com/cell-metabolis…

The latest from our lab in the cover of @CircRes: Macrophage-derived CCL24 exacerbates fibrosis and impairs cardiac function via CCR3. Work led by Preethy Parthiban in collaboration with Jop van Berlo's lab. Open access: ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

Please join us for tomorrow's IBP seminar series as we welcome Dr. McCole @DecMcCole. “Regulation of Intestinal Epithelial-Macrophage Barrier Properties by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Risk Gene, PTPN2”

As Vice Chair, I am delighted to invite you to join us for our GRC Bones and Teeth, taking place January 25–30, 2026, at the historic Hotel Galvez in Galveston, TX, a cherished venue. We look forward to welcoming you to what is sure to be an exciting and memorable meeting!

1/11 In @ScienceMagazine: A new perspective on how our intestines renew. Cells are not “pushed out” by crowding or die from apoptosis. Instead, cells play a mechanical tug-of-war, where weaker cells extrude, reframing gut renewal as force-regulated. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We are proud to be a founding contributor to lipidinteractome.org, a repository developed by @TheTafesseLab & Schultz lab to increase accessibility to proteomics data from multi-functionalized lipid analogs! Check out the website & preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2507.23101 #lipidtime

The Verkerke lab is hiring at all levels. We apply metabolic and bioenergetic techniques to investigate how pathways are rewired in pathophysiology. Experience in bioenergetics,cancer metabolism, metabolomics, molecular biology is a bonus. Email averkerk@umn.edu to apply!
