Announcing our 2026 CMH Postdoctoral Rising Stars Symposium on Wednesday, September 2! To apply for this opportunity, scan the QR codes on the flyer or visit our track links: Metabolism (shorturl.at/rjV1N) and Health Behaviors (shorturl.at/ayq8p). Help spread the word
ALT This is an image advertising the CMH Postdoctoral Rising Stars Symposium on Wednesday, September 2. There are two tracks to choose from, Metabolism and Health Behaviors and there are QR codes for both track applications. Applications are listed as due on Friday, April 24.
Excited to share my invited JLR Lectureship article — a big-picture, and somewhat provocative, take on why evolution chose sphingolipids…and the costs that choice carries. doi.org/10.1016/j.jlr.2026.1…
Proud of this one. Kudos to @B__Nicholson and @luisci22 for doing the heavy lifting. attheu.utah.edu/health-medic…

Our latest. We were surprised to uncover a role for ceramides in fuel choice of intestinal stem cells, a finding that could have implications for cancer risk. Kudos to Ying Li and @Bhagi43905530 for doggedly pursuing the mechanism. @uofunuip @UofUDMRC
