Wow!!! Congratulations Nurix Therapeutics for having achieved a complete (!) response in a patient with aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma using their using a small molecule degrader. So wonderful to see these clinical data emerge with targeted protein degradation! ir.nurixtx.com/news-releases/…

Excited to share our preprint describing the identification of several new FSP1 inhibitors that sensitize cancer cells to ferroptosis!! 🎉 This study was spearheaded by grad student Joseph Hendricks and was a terrific collaboration with Julia Schaletzky. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally, w/ Martin Kampmann and Faraz Faghri we generated CRISPRlipid as a community driven online portal to visualize and compare genetic screen data related to lipid and membrane biology. This site complements CRISPRbrain, which focuses on screens in differentiated cells. 12/12

Happy to have contributed in a small way to this collaborative paper from Ron Kopito's lab. CRISPR screens provide insight into the ubiquitin-dependent degradation of CFTR and mechanism of the CFTR correctors tezacaftor (VX-661) and elexacaftor (VX-445). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

An amazing story now available as a preprint by superstar grad student Alyssa Mathiowetz uncovering the role of a novel regulator of hepatic lipid handling! A must read for anyone interested in lipid metabolism! #lipidtime
