Are you interested in learning how to perform clamps in rodent models or how to use isotopic tracers in your pre-clinical or clinical research? Would you like to do this AND visit honky tonks? Then come to Nashville this fall for the VMMPC clamp course and tracer course!

Proud of lab folks @ObesityWeek part 3. Gai-Linn Besing presents a poster and talks about her work on dietary effects on liraglutide weight loss effectiveness via FGF21.
Proud of lab folks at @ObesityWeek part 2. Next up @sharshj talks about the metabolic and behavioral changes during prolonged semaglutide treatment. Fun fact, his manuscript on this work was accepted in @Diabetes_ADA during his presentation!
Proud of lab folks at @ObesityWeek First up was @ritikaragwho presenting her work on contributions of mTORC1 in POMC neurons to the weight loss effect of semaglutide.
New article from the lab showing interesting feeding behavior when mice are given access to HFD only during the light vs. dark cycle along with ad lib access to chow. Food preference in mice depends on time of day exposure. doi.org/10.1002/oby.70030

All the program officers came together one last time at the final Annual MMPC Meeting dinner to reflect, connect, and celebrate years of collaboration. A memorable close to an impactful gathering. #MMPCMeeting2025
Last week we honored the legacy of David Wasserman with a symposium featuring 4 fantastic speakers - @Hughey_Lab, Darleen Sandoval, @Kang_Lab, and @Isotopomer. We learned, we laughed, and we remembered our dear friend and colleague.
