Thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded an NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from NIDDK!
I’m incredibly grateful to my mentor, @LabSaltiel, for his unwavering guidance & support. Excited to continue exploring mitochondrial biology in adipose tissue and metabolic health.

New @Nature research article: dietary cholesterol not only raises LDL—it activates RAS→Ral signaling, driving LDLR internalization and CTSA-mediated lysosomal degradation, independent of PCSK9. Blocking CTSA restores LDLR and cuts circulating LDL in mice. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Alan R. Saltiel @LabSaltiel & team @UCSanDiego show TBK1 acts as a brake on fat burning during fasting—and the combination of a TBK1 inhibitor and an AMPK activator reverses obesity and improves #MetabolicHealth in mice.
The figure: Combined TBK1 inhibition and AMPK activation improve metabolic health in obese mice.

With great sadness I report the passing of my scientific mentor Jesse Roth at age 91. Jesse was a brilliant & innovative scientist who led the field of membrane receptor biology from NIH diabetes branch. A small part of that family tree is shown. May his memory be a blessing.

From my guest essay in today's NYT: "Do you think that the number of children who die every year from cancer is just about right? Are you content with your current chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease? Do you feel our current understanding of which government policies are effective and which ones are wasteful is perfect? Are you happy with the way the climate is going, given our current energy technology?" nytimes.com/2025/05/23/opini…
