Sach Apte, MD, MS, MBA, is taking on two expanded leadership roles across @huntsmancancer and @UofUHealth: chief operating officer for Huntsman Cancer Clinical Campuses and chief medical officer for the Cancer Care Line.
As we serve more patients across multiple campuses, their experience should feel connected no matter where they enter our system. The Cancer Care Line will help bring teams together around that goal.
I’m grateful to Dr. Apte for taking on these additional responsibilities and helping shape what comes next.

We are excited to share this new preprint from our amazing postdoc, @luisci22! Luis discovered that liver cancer cells with overactive beta-catenin switch their mitochondrial fuel usage from glucose to fatty acid oxidation—an unexpected rewiring that challenges conventional Warburg metabolism.
Excited to share my new preprint from the @RutterLab! What sets a cell’s metabolic state? Using MPC1 as a readout in a CRISPR screen, we found that β-catenin regulates metabolic state in liver cancer cells, driving a switch from carbohydrate to fat oxidation. 🧵
