Super excited to welcome James Martin II, PhD to the lab as new postdoctoral fellow! Can read his awesome thesis work about microbial drug resistance and metabolism here and follow him on twitter @JamesKeithMart1!

Thank you to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network for funding our work to identify metabolic adaptations required for survival of tumor nutrient stress, in particular arginine-deprivation stress! We are very grateful for your support!

Thanks to the National Pancreas Foundation for supporting our work! Super excited to work with the NPF extending our understanding of the metabolism that underpins pancreatic cancer.

Thank you to the Cancer Research Foundation for funding our work on pancreatic cancer, metabolism and the immune system. Very excited to get this work underway!

Great to work with bio-protocol to publish super detailed methods for the interstitial fluid extraction and metabolite quantification we perform in the lab. Great to work with bio-protocol and hope people find it useful! Always happy to answer questions too!

Thanks to Van Andel Metabolism Program team for organizing such an informative and fun meeting!

Excited to announce that our work on pancreatic cancer metabolism has been funded by the Brinson Foundation! Thank you!

Our lab’s latest work on tumor microenvironmental nutrient levels is out online! Thanks to everyone involved!

Also, thanks to MIT News for covering our work!

Ed Yong at the Atlantic wrote a very thoughtful piece on new advances in cell culture conditions, highlighting how environment can impact cell behavior and function. And our groups work is mentioned in it!

Also, where did the header photo come from? Is that really a vending machine with cell culture media in it? Where does such a thing exist and how can we get one for our lab 🙂
