Meet Dr. Benjamin Ohlstein, our newest faculty member! He's studying the normal development of intestinal stem cells & how abnormalities in this process lead to diseases like cancer, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease & premature aging. Learn more. ⤵️ cri.utsw.edu/meet-dr-ben-ohl…

Happy to share our new review in @trendscancer focusing on the role of the mitochondrial genome in human cancer. Big thanks to David McFadden and Prashant Mishra (@MishraLab) and @Leopoldina / Fritz Thyssen Foundation for funding me. cell.com/trends/cancer/fullt…

It is #mitoawarenessweek! Learn how researchers in the @MishraLab are mapping out how our mitochondria are embedded into normal cellular function to understand how mitochondrial diseases occur. Their work could lead to new clinical tools and therapeutic options. #mitoawareness

Applications for tenure-track faculty positions are now open. We’re seeking researchers interested in joining a collaborative and dynamic institute focused on the areas of stem cells, cancer, metabolism and genetics. Apply by November 1 ⤵️ ow.ly/Xkub50BhzXN

There are no effective treatments for the 1/4,000 people diagnosed w/ mitochondrial diseases each year. @MishraLab grad student Nicholas Lesner hopes to change that by studying how cells adapt their metabolism to mutations in mitochondria DNA. #LifeAtCRI cri.utsw.edu/life-at-the-ins…

Meet Xun Wang, a former physical therapist who helped athletes w/skeletal muscle injuries. As a @MishraLab postdoc, Xun now works to uncover new ways to repair skeletal tissues by examining how changes in mitochondria affect muscle stem cells. #LifeAtCRI ow.ly/blzk50AKAZh

Could changes in our mitochondria influence cancer progression? Spencer Shelton(@Spencer2268), a graduate student in the @MishraLab, is working to understand how mutations in our mitochondrial DNA could explain why certain melanomas spread and others don't. #MelanomaMonday
