A couple years ago, we showed that dietary fructose enhances intestinal tumor growth. Today, I’m excited to expand these results to the normal intestine and discuss the implications for obesity and cancer. nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Welcome change! During my training, too often men openly known for sexual harassment were hired and rapidly promoted by prominent institutions - their bullying of women, patronizing attitudes, and toxic masculine bravado wielded as evidence of their scientific greatness. No more.

Hey All- My lab has been on a journey to find better ways to build 'network-based drugs' to handle complex diseases (you know, cancer, Alzheimer's, that sort of thing). Another collaborative step on that process just dropped- doi.org/10.1371/journa…

This is the most spectacular illusion I’ve ever seen. Watch this with sound 🔈 mind-boggling even when you know how it works! 🤯

We were fortunate to receive a CS7 human gastrula donated to the HDBR. Our single cell characterisation of this sample with the Scialdone Lab and ludovic vallier groups has now been published. nature.com/articles/s4158… human-gastrula.net

Wisdom please 🙏 We are co-developing an automated drug development platform and next want to explore its use for chemical genetics. Suggestions for an open not-disease biological problem? Easy-to-score, quantitative assay essential. Flies, cell-based, etc all possible.

Looking for a postdoc position? With our many collaborators, the Cagan lab is building a new closed-loop biology exploration and drug development platform that combines 'chemputer', AI, 'fly avatar', and 'human assembloid' technologies to address cancer and rare genetic diseases.
