Excited to see our second podcast out!

🎙️EXO Chats Podcast – Ep02 is LIVE! Hosted by @bstockwell, Dr. @kjacobs7192 shares her journey in lymphatics study, the discovery blocking autophagy traps T cells & breaks immunotherapy, and her future vision of lymphatic modulation. 🔗Listen: youtube.com/watch?v=yvboH0XV… #Lymphatics

I was honored to visit UT MD Anderson to receive the Mike Hogg Award. The highlights were not only the ceremony but also the conversations with researchers there, especially around their passion for #ferroptosis and new ideas about #cancertherapeutics. Few places in the world combine that depth of resources with that caliber of people. I’m grateful to the award committee and everyone who met with me for the hospitality, and excited to see what comes next from MD Anderson! @Columbia

🚀EXO Frontiers | The Caspase-2 Paradox Caspase-2 removes polyploid cells—yet the liver depends on them. Why? A “rheostat” model: short-term loss may be adaptive, but chronic deficiency → pathogenic ploidy, ferroptosis & ↑ HCC risk. 🔗Link in comments #LiverCancer #Ferroptosis

🎙️Exciting News! "EXO Chats" - EXO - Beyond the Cell Launching new Podcast Program In each episode, our Editor-in-Chief Prof. @bstockwell speak directly with scientists about the ideas shaping their research and beyond. 1st Episode Coming Soon! #Ferroptosis #Spatialbiology

I thought it would be fun to do podcasts with the authors of papers published in our new spatial biology journal EXO. The incredible staff at the journal has made this so much fun and easy to do. Here’s our first episode. My thanks to the staff, and Drs. Toyokuni and Kong for agreeing to be our first authors interviewed. Enjoy!

🚩Announcing EXO – Beyond the Cell | Volume 1, Issue 1 is Now Published！ 🙌A big thank you to all the authors and reviewers for making this first step possible! Looking forward to our joint future! 📍Read the full issue: sciexplor.com/exo/volume/58/… #NewJournal #AcademicPublishing

Congrats to co-authors Jenny Jin, Jiachen Hu, Mingyue Li, Wei Gu, and Xuejun Jiang on publication of our new review on #ferroptosis as an approach to leverage #cancer #metabolism in Trends in Cell Biology! It is freely available: authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

I was honored and grateful for the invitation to deliver the William E.M. Lands Lecture at the University of Michigan. Dr. Lands’ pioneering work on the Lands cycle and phospholipid remodeling continues to shape how we think about lipid biology, #ferroptosis and its roles in health and disease. I am thrilled to be among those leaders selected to give this important lecture. It was a true pleasure to spend time with outstanding faculty and students and colleagues in the Department of Biological Chemistry, including Drs. Phyllis Hanson, Weiping Zou, Yatrik Shah, Melanie Ohi, Ruma Banerjee, Stephen Ragsdale, Jim Shayman, Shyamal Mosalaganti, and Filipa Barroso Pereira, Peter Arvan, Janet Smith, and Jeff Johnson. Thank you to the University of Michigan for the warm welcome and to everyone who made this visit so memorable, and good luck in the Final Four!!

I’m serving as Editor in Chief of a new journal focused on #spatialbiology : EXO - Beyond the Cell. We have a world-class editorial board. My deepest thanks to these outstanding scientists. no subscription fees — all papers immediately available worldwide. No author publication charges until at least 2030. Rapid and concise reviews. High quality reviewers. sciexplor.com/articles/EXO.2…

Just a reminder to spread the word that we are running a search for a new Assistant Professor with a focus on biochemistry. Please apply! We'll start reviewing applications in mid January.

The Columbia Dept of Biological Sciences is searching for an #Assistant #Professor with expertise in #Biochemistry. please apply and spread the word! apply.interfolio.com/179345 The successful applicant will be involved in research employing biochemical and/or biophysical approaches to study important topics in modern biology, such as protein/nucleic acid function and dynamics, metabolism, microbial biology, or cancer biology.

Tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Metabolic Biology / Human Metabolic Disease @UCBerkeley! Fantastic opportunity to join an interdisciplinary department with strengths in metabolism, nutrition & human health. Please help spread the word! jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/…

Congrats to Ed Reznik, former MD-PHD student in my lab, and the whole team on publication of our paper "Lipidomic changes in persister cancer cells drive enhanced ferroptosis sensitivity" in the new journal Ferroptosis and Oxidative Stress! sciexplor.com/articles/fos.2… (free w/ no subscription and no APCs) We found that lipid changes are key to making drug-tolerant persister cells sensitive to ferroptosis, building on the pioneering work of Doug Green, Matthew Hangauer, Vasanthi Viswanathan, John Eaton, Stuart Schreiber, Frank McCormick, and Michael McManus. One step in the dream of eliminating the drug-resistant cancers that take so many lives.

Congrats!

I was honored to give the L. Carroll King Memorial Lectures at @NUChemistry Northwestern University, sponsored by the Chemistry Department. Professor King was a pioneering researcher and #teacher who joined Northwestern’s faculty in 1942. He was active in advancing ideas about chemical #education, along with developing frontier organic #chemistry, such as the King reaction and the development of compounds for sickle cell anemia. He appeared on TV in Chicago Educational Television and The Reviewing Stand, performed outreach to high school students. Professor King understood that impactful researchers can benefit broader society by teaching about their #science, and that education is improved when we bring frontier research ideas in the classroom. I was impressed at how much this spirit of doing important research along with great teaching pervades the campus of Northwestern — it was a true pleasure to spend time with students and faculty there. Physicists and neuroscientists have long understood that great benefits accrue from disseminating frontier research to society — you inspire the next generation of researchers to enter science and you remind the public about the importance of research to their lives. We chemists and biologists need to remember the wisdom or Professor King and do more to get the word out to the public about the exciting work we are doing.

I had a fantastic time at Northwestern with the great honor of giving the L. Carroll King lectures. Thank you to the wonderful community of faculty and students at this great institution!
