Science has lost a giant of physiology and metabolism. Vandy has lost a true leader. I have lost a mentor, colleague, and dear friend. Those of us lucky to have known him will remember his dedication and his (odd) humor. Rest now David Wasserman We will miss you.


Fantastic job by our SyBBURE undergraduate Ria Mirchandani presenting on her summer work investigating the role of hypothalamic mTORC1 on GLP1R-induced weight loss. Props to her lab mentor ā¦Ritika Raghuā©
