Lean and Connected: How Losing Weight Makes Fat Cells Talk Smarter
2026-01-20 15:00
Philipp Scherer is Professor and Director of the Touchstone Diabetes Center at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Current efforts in his laboratory are focused on the identification and physiological characterization of novel proteins that serve as potential links between the adipocyte, liver, the pancreatic beta cell, and the processes of whole body energy homeostasis, inflammation, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. His research team aims to identify novel targets for pharmacological intervention and to further define the role of adipose tissue as an endocrine organ.

Metabolic and Physiological Implications of Flexibility in the mitochondrial electron transport chain
2026-02-17 16:00
The overarching goal of the Spinelli lab is to understand how cells sense and adapt to metabolic stress. They aim to uncover mechanisms underlying metabolic flexibility in healthy mammals, and determine how these adaptations are dysfunctional in the context of diseases like cancer, obesity, mitochondrial myopathies, and ischemia.
