A great time at Pacifichem 2025! Wonderful to reconnect with mentors, teachers, and peers, meet new friends, and share our recent work. Looking forward to meeting again.
Thank you for the kind invitation to speak at the 2025 Nutrition, Metabolism, Obesity & Diabetes Research Retreat for the first time! It was a pleasure to share our work and learn from such an inspiring community. Looking forward to future collaborations!
Excited to share our new paper in Current Protocols! As my first corresponding-author work, we present a systematic nucleosome- or histone-based deacylation assay for studying HDACs and sirtuins. Huge thanks to my team, the journal for the invitation, and yizhengillustration for the amazing cover!
Had a good time at SERMACS 2025! Thanks for the opportunity to share our work, connect with inspiring scientists, and learn from so many great talks!
Honored to receive the 2025 Prostate Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Award! Grateful for all the support and excited to explore new frontiers in prostate cancer metabolism and epigenetics.

How do ketones impart their effects in physiology? Congrats to Zhipeng Wang on his story elucidating a new mechanism just out in @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! In his exciting story, he shows that acetoacetate via another metabolite modifies mitochondrial cysteines! 🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
