Support Our Science Nationwide Walkout is TODAY! This is a protest to Chrystia Freeland & Justin Trudeau's #budget2023! SOS is advocating for increased federal investments in scholarships, fellowships & grants to support increased pay for grad students & postdocs #SupportOurScience 1/5

Join me in congratulating our MSc student, and NSERC Create MATRIXMetabolomics Scholar, Dheeraj Pandey who was awarded a Best Poster award at the Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology Seminar at the University of Ottawa. Also, special thanks to Alex Green for his mentorship!

come work in beautiful #losangeles on how #NAD metabolism is disturbed by #DNA damage and #nicotine new BS grad? ✅ new PhD? ✅ we've got great projects for you plus tacos, mountains and beaches pls RT, please get in touch

Our recent study together with Fabio Penna’s lab demonstrated that vitamin B3, niacin, prevents cancer cachexia in mice. More info in the media release.

🚨 Attention trainees! Application deadline extended until May 19 for #travelawards to attend the ApOC Workshop on Stem Cells & Neural Organoids happening in-person on July 10. Apply today to learn about the generation of neural #organoids from #stemcells: stemcellnetwork.ca/training/works…

Fascinating new preprint on bioRxiv tackles a whale of a question: Whales are huge. So why don’t they get a ton of cancers? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to Kwadjo Nyarko who was accepted into the following medical schools: uOttawa, McMaster, UBC and UofT🤩! He has also proven to be a passionate researcher in our lab examining novel post-translational modifications affecting muscle stem cell health. OISB

The most gratifying work is from seamless collaborations. Thank you to Riekelt Houtkooper for initiating a project that gave our PhD students Kim Reid and @EileenD26 the opportunity to travel back-and-forth between the Netherlands and Canada.OISB nature.com/articles/s4159…

Super proud of lead authors @EileenD26 and Kim Reid for this massive collab with Keir Joe Menzies! We started from our 2013 observation that lower mitochondrial ribosomal protein expression extended lifespan in worms, so asked the question: is the same true in mice? ⬇️

An active relationship between policymakers & scientists is essential for growth, innovation, and health in Canada. Yesterday I attended Centre Social Mgr Bolangi Asbl to talk to Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa science students about how they can influence policy and advocate for science literacy. #SupportOurScience

Congratulations Brayden Perras, Branden Lynch, Abolfazl Nik-Akhtar and Dheeraj Pandey for presenting your data at the @CSMB2023 conference on Metabolic Regulation of Cell Signalling! Also, shout-out to Alex Green, our postdoc, for your dedication to training each of these students!

Our work on #healthspan and graceful #aging is featured in EPFL's Dimensions! This huge mouse study would not have been possible without the effort of the entire Auwerx Lab team, who relentlessly collected 120'000 tissues in 5-years! link in English: longread.epfl.ch/en/dossier/age…
