The Autophagy, Inflammation, Metabolism Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (AIM COBRE) is in the process of building co-operativity within the Southwest Region. We can provide access to laboratory resources through a number of mechanisms to the AIM CoBRE Core (Cores | Autophagy, Inflammation and Metabolism Center of Biomedical Research Excellence) which include high content analysis and imaging along with cellular metabolic assays.

Stay tuned for more information!

The AIM Center is in the process of forming a Council of International Rising Stars (COIRS) for junior investigator, comprised of promising junior investigators in the scientific areas of Autophagy, Inflammation and Metabolism. The intent is to engage international rising stars in AIM Center activities and provide networking for international talent at the level of Assistant Professor or Junior Group Leader! Please stay tuned for more information!

Please send nominations or self-nominations to vderetic@salud.unm.edu for consideration.

Expression of Interest

At this time, we are accepting an Expression of Interest (EOI) by prospective candidates. The Autophagy Inflammation and Metabolism Center (AIM) is planning to conduct periodic searches for competitive mentored PI (mPI) positions to be supported by the AIM P20 NIH award.

Metabolism

While heterogeneity is a key feature of cancer, understanding metabolic heterogeneity at the single-cell level remains a challenge. Here we present 13C-SpaceM, a method for spatial single-cell isotope tracing that extends the previously published SpaceM method with detection of 13C6-glucose-derived...

Metabolism

Glucose, the primary cellular energy source, is metabolized through glycolysis initiated by the rate-limiting enzyme hexokinase (HK). In energy-demanding tissues like the brain, HK1 is the dominant isoform, primarily localized on mitochondria, and is crucial for efficient glycolysis–oxidative...
