A study from @RachelPerryLab1 in @PNASNews shows that working muscles can outcompete tumors for glucose, slowing their growth. The findings also suggest that exercise may play a role in the prevention and treatment of #cancer.

To any scientist who needs to hear this: go talk to your child’s elementary school class about science and end up answering questions about ALL THE BIOLOGY. It is the absolute best. Special shoutouts to the kids who asked when they can join my lab, and if they can give me a hug.

Abigail Koomson @RachelPerryLab1 reveals potential metabolic targets to improve quality of life during cancer treatment. Using a mouse model of #breastcancer-related fatigue, physical exhaustion was linked to disrupted muscle metabolism and #inflammation. #AACR26 @YaleBreast @AACR @SmilowCancer @OncoAlert
So proud of Dr. Andin Fosam who gave a truly stellar PhD defense yesterday. She is a star future orthopedic surgeon-scientist, and it’s been a joy to be part of her path! @YaleMSTP

It was a delight to talk with @hello_bio about my unconventional path staying and growing at Yale since undergrad. Grateful to @YaleMed @YaleCancer @YaleIMed @NationalMMPC and all collaborators!
Well, in a world where peer review and discussion could influence outcomes in a thoughtful, evidence- and numbers-based way, maybe that. However…….
It was wonderful to talk with @DrEricWiner about exercise and cancer. The upshot: our mouse studies suggest that small lifestyle changes can make a big difference in cancer outcomes!
Tonight at 7:30pm on #YaleCancerAnswers, @RachelPerryLab1 talks in depth about the science behind how exercise and changes in diet could affect development of #cancer and a patient's outcome.

New research finds that even low levels of physical activity shift glucose away from tumors and toward working muscles, limiting cancer’s fuel supply. "Any amount of activity may be beneficial,” explains @RachelPerryLab1.

Congratulations @BrooksLeitner, Andin Fosam, and collaborators. We appreciate the strong history of exercise + cancer research at Yale, and were thrilled to expand it! @YaleMed @YaleMDPhD
Research led by @RachelPerryLab1 shows exercise slows tumor growth by shifting the body’s metabolism. This work reveals that aerobic fitness fundamentally reshapes metabolic competition between muscle and tumors.

It was a pleasure to talk to the team at Hello Bio about my somewhat atypical path, growing from undergrad to associate professor at the same university @YaleIMed @YaleCancer
(I did change labs at one point…but it was from my mentor’s to my own!)
Can you build a science career without moving labs? 🤔
Guess blogger @RachelPerryLab1 shares her 20+ year journey at @YaleIMed and discusses the many benefits of laying down roots in research: ow.ly/cOf950WkpfC

Thank you, Janet (and Judi)! Research is critical to create new tools to improve health for our neighbors like her. Onward.
Such a privilege to meet and sit next to Janet Ramsey on my flight back from DC. Janet is fighting metastatic breast cancer and still went to DC to talk to our representatives about the importance of research funding. More on her story:

Congratulations Dr. Akingbesote @dumebiike. It’s been a privilege and a pleasure to be her PhD mentor!
