He got his start in research as an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh with Dr. William de Groat, studying neuropharmacology of the bladder and colon. Kevin earned his PhD with Dr. Miguel Perez-Pinzon at the University of Miami investigating resveratrol, a red wine polyphenol, as a prophylactic treatment for ischemic stroke. For his postdoctoral work, he contributed several fundamental studies of metabolic and epigenetic regulation of circadian rhythms in the liver with the late Dr. Paolo Sassone-Corsi at the University of California Irvine. Dr. Koronowski was recruited to UTHSA by Dr. Reuben Harris, BSB Chair, in February of 2022 to start his own research program aiming to uncover fundamental mechanisms of circadian control of metabolic disease, neurological disorders, and cancer.

Aging research is my jam and investigating circadian rhythm\/metabolism in that context is a super exciting field to be in! When I\u2019m not in the lab, I love spending time with my family and friends. My partner, Cody, and I love to fish, embark on home-improvement projects, walk\/play with our dogs, take our friends\u2019 money in Texas hold-em game nights and generally love to explore. Much of my family lives in New Braunfels, so we enjoy visiting them frequently as well.

With metabolic research and\u00a0 lab managing experience, I have been happy to join Dr. Koronowski\u2019s lab from the beginning. I like animals and enjoy working on murine research projects. I am committed to providing the highest level of help to the team. Along with research, I am also passionate about how food nutrients are linked to physical\/mental health. As a hobby, I&#8217;m very much interested in making videos for wild animals and spacious fields &#8211; everything that Texas has to offer.<\/p>\n      \t\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr style=\"margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0;\"\/>\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x margin-top\">\n    <div class=\"cell small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n\t\t\n      \t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"241\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/labs.uthscsa.edu\/koronowski2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2024\/07\/litwin.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/labs.uthscsa.edu\/koronowski2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2024\/07\/litwin.jpg 241w, https:\/\/labs.uthscsa.edu\/koronowski2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2024\/07\/litwin-215x300.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 241px\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"cell small-12 medium-8 large-8\">\n        <h2 class=\"h3\">Christopher Litwin, BS<\/h2>\n      \n        <!-- Position 1 -->\n        <p class=\"subheader\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem;\"><\/p>\n        \n        <!-- Position 2 -->\n        \n        \n        <!-- Position 3 -->\n        \n        \n        <!-- Add margin if all positions are empty -->\n        \n            <div style=\"margin-bottom: 2rem;\"><\/div>\n        \n            \n        <!--- Department and Location --->\n        \n      \n        \n     \n        <div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\">\n            <div class=\"cell medium-12 large-12\">\n                <address>\n                    <div class=\"loose-list\">\n                        <ul class=\"no-bullet loose-list inline\">\n                          \t\n                            <li style=\"margin-bottom: 0.5rem;\">\n                                <a>\n                                    <span class=\"fa-stack\">\n                                        <i class=\"fas fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i>\n                                        <i class=\"fas fa-envelope fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i>\n                                    <\/span>\n                                    <span><a href=\"mailto:litwin@livemail.uthscsa.edu\" title=\"litwin@livemail.uthscsa.edu\">litwin@livemail.uthscsa.edu<\/a><\/span>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n                          \t\n                          \t\n                        <\/ul>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/address>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <p>I am a PhD student in the lab. I received my bachelor\u2019s degree in biology from Texas A&amp;M University. After graduating, I went on to work in a vision research lab which piqued my interest in how light influences physiology and led to my joining of the Koronowski lab. My projects in the lab are focused on the circadian control of secretion from the liver in the context of metabolism and aging. My overall scientific interests include metabolism, intercellular communication, cell signaling, physiology, and aging. In my free time, I like to go fishing, spend time with my wife and dog, and play basketball.<\/p>\n      \t\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr style=\"margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0;\"\/>\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x margin-top\">\n    <div class=\"cell small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n\t\t\n      \t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"245\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/labs.uthscsa.edu\/koronowski2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2024\/08\/plantenga.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/labs.uthscsa.edu\/koronowski2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2024\/08\/plantenga.png 245w, https:\/\/labs.uthscsa.edu\/koronowski2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2024\/08\/plantenga-213x300.png 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 245px\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"cell small-12 medium-8 large-8\">\n        <h2 class=\"h3\">Noelia Plantenga<\/h2>\n      \n        <!-- Position 1 -->\n        <p class=\"subheader\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem;\"><\/p>\n        \n        <!-- Position 2 -->\n        \n        \n        <!-- Position 3 -->\n        \n        \n        <!-- Add margin if all positions are empty -->\n        \n            <div style=\"margin-bottom: 2rem;\"><\/div>\n        \n            \n        <!--- Department and Location --->\n        \n      \n        \n     \n        <div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\">\n            <div class=\"cell medium-12 large-12\">\n                <address>\n                    <div class=\"loose-list\">\n                        <ul class=\"no-bullet loose-list inline\">\n                          \t\n                          \t\n                        <\/ul>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/address>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <p><p class=\"font_2 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"color_15 wixui-rich-text__text\">Noelia Plantenga is a student at Harlan High School who enjoys broadening her knowledge of the scientific world through hands-on laboratory research.
