Happy Native American Heritage Month! Celebrate and share with Judith Simcox PhD's inspiring journey: bit.ly/simcox


Excited to share that work from my PhD thesis is now available in Nature Metabolism! Here, we uncover a link between heme production, BCAA metabolism, and thermogenesis—implicating heme synthesis in #aging, #obesity, and #T2D. Link: nature.com/articles/s4225… A 🧵 (1/14)

I'm beyond thrilled to announce that I will be joining the Biochemistry Department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison this fall as an Assistant Professor. My lab will focus on deorphanizing biochemical pathways that regulate nutrient metabolism UW–Madison Biochem UW-Madison IPiB


Please join us on May 19 for Andrea Hunger's Ph.D. thesis defense! Hunger's research in the Judith Simcox PhD Lab examined the regulation of a lipid that controls cell death and insulin signaling. Learn more: ipib.wisc.edu/2025/04/23/ipi…


My lab is recruiting a postdoc fellow to characterize new biochemical pathways that control taurine and glucose metabolism. Email me at [email protected] to apply! Please help RT🙏 Long Lab Judith Simcox PhD UW–Madison Biochem




As promised, a 🧵 on our recent article now out in NatureStructMolBiol! Co-led with Abby Bartlett Pagliarini Lab Judith Simcox PhD, we find ACAD10/11 are NOT like other acyl-CoA dehydrogenases and instead catabolize atypical lipids called 4-hydroxy acids 🤯#lipidtime doi.org/10.1038/s41594…
