Alex a great time talking with Natalia Mesa about his career in science and where where the field of tumor metabolism is going! Link.

Belated congratulations to Juan for being named the 22-23 Harper Fellow at University of Chicago for his work on metabolic stress and pancreatic cancer. Harper Fellowship is only awarded to 1 student in each division who conducted the most impact thesis research, so a huge accomplishment! Very proud!

Our latest work on how microenvironmental metabolic stress impacts the biology of pancreatic cancer cells has been published!

Big congratulations to first authors Juan and Lindsey for leading this study! Built a great new model system to grow tumor resident cells with tumor physiological nutrition and study the impact on their biology.

Congrats to Colin Sheehan for receiving an F31 Predoctoral Fellowship!

Big congrats to Juan for earning a Travel Fellowship to present his work on how the nutrient environment alters amino acid metabolism in pancreatic cancer at Keystone Symposium on Tumor Metabolism!

Check out Patrick presenting his work on how non-lipid nutrients impact SREBP signaling and lipid metabolism (and therapeutic targets) in pancreatic cancer at ASCB-EMBO 2021!

Big congratulations to Colin and Juan for being awarded the University of Chicago Cancer Biology Cameron Brooks and MaryEllen Connelan Awards in cancer biology research! Thanks for all your hard work to find new ways to target pancreatic cancer metabolism and re-sensitize pancreatic cancer to chemotherapies!

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.
