Thanks to the speakers, participants, co-chair Laura McNamara, committee chairs Richard Murray and Darlene Solomon & The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine staff members Gabrielle Risica, Ph.D., @joneisenberg Jon Eisenberg and Shenae Bradley for the workshop this week. https://lnkd.in/g3BQ4sTY Fascinating to sober, the workshop bridged omics to non-invasive neuromodulation, AI to ecosystems, social media to ethics, to identify transformative science and technologies and "gaps to fill" that will enhance resilience and recovery in the face of increasing societal and environmental stresses. Balancing urgency with ethics cut across themes.

Happy to share my latest publication in BMC Digital Health. We identified problem solving skills as a key factor that differentiated intervention responders vs. non-responders in digital lifestyle intervention for obesity management. Enhancing these skills could be a intervention target for improving intervention outcomes. Thank you Dr. Jing Wang, Center for Precision Medicine, and team at UTHSA Nursing for supporting this project. I’m excited to build on this study to move forward with the next project! https://lnkd.in/gWkip__R

In Memoriam of William Lloyd Henrich, MD, MACP Obituary in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology honoring our beloved late president of UT Health San Antonio Dr. William Lloyd Henrich "His last message to the faculty before he left on medical leave was, “Our noble work helps these families, educates these young professionals, and delivers research advances that benefit everyone, everywhere in the world. I have confidence in you to make the lofty goals established for our institution a reality.” These words are the essence of who Bill was. Bill's passing is no doubt a colossal loss to his family, friends, colleagues, and the academic medical community at large. He has always been and should always be a role model for anyone who strives to achieve in academic medicine. Bill's devotion, conviction, and obsession was always: “What can I do for others and how do I accomplish that” in clinical practice, scientific discovery, education, mentoring, and academic leadership. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten." https://lnkd.in/g34XUCSV

🚀 Exciting News! 🚀 Thrilled to announce the publication of our latest research article, "Glycolytic Lactate in Diabetic Kidney Disease," from my work at Kumar Sharma's lab at UT Health San Antonio, in JCI Insight! Our study highlights the pivotal role of glycolytic lactate as a biomarker and mediator of mitochondrial dysfunction in DKD. These findings pave the way for innovative therapeutic strategies targeting lactate production and mitochondrial health in diabetic patients. Grateful to my co-authors and collaborators for their invaluable contributions, and to the funding bodies for their support. #Diabetes #KidneyDisease #MitochondrialDysfunction #Glycolysis #Biomarkers #SGLT2Inhibitors #PrecisionMedicine #Metabolomics Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eP5J7R5q

Check our latest publication "Glycolytic Lactate in Diabetic Kidney Disease" at the JCI insight! This elegant work was led by Dr. Kumar Sharma, in collaboration with Dr. David Z.I. Cherney (University Health Network , Toronto, Canada), the Kidney Precision Medicine Project, and Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study (CRIC) study investigators. Congratulations to Dr. Manjula Darshi and all co-authors! Link to publication: https://lnkd.in/gSM-nzmC Key highlights: ✔ This study explores lactate as a biomarker for mitochondrial dysfunction in Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). ✔ Elevated urine lactate in DKD patients in HUNT3, SMART2D, and CRIC cohorts. ✔High urine lactate/creatinine levels linked to faster kidney function decline. ✔ Lactate production in T1D patients connected to glucose levels, with SGLT2 inhibition reducing lactate production.
