        Honoured to be a small part of this important discovery led by the fantastic Tristram Ryan demonstrating the anticoagulant capabilities of DMF and 4-OI, published in Nature Communications. Congrats!
 
         
        Happy to share our work showing that the NRF2 activating compounds, DMF and 4-OI, induce the secretion of the anti-inflammatory protein Annexin A1 from macrophages! Ciana Diskin Juliana Escher Toller Luke O'Neill doi.org/10.4049/jimmun…

        Immunometabolism lovers,the review I wrote with Maureen Yin, PhD and Luke O'Neill for Trends in Immunology is out!🤩📚We focused on the role of ETC in shaping innate and adaptive immune response and how ETC inhibitors could potentially be used as a future treatment for immune-mediated disease.
 
        Very excited to share that in a few short weeks I will be starting as an Assistant Professor at Western University in Physiology and Pharmacology Phys Pharm! If you are interested in immunometabolism and metabolic disease please reach out! Hiring at multiple positions!
