Nice addition to the #targetedproteindegradation literature but I wouldn't describe it as "a new strategy of targeted protein degradation through direct substrate recruitment to the 26S proteasome" since Janse and Church first described this approach in 2004. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15039430/ #PROTACs
Not a science post per se. Penny Mae on a car ride to help me at the home brew store.
The Arkin Lab at University of California, Berkeley engineered edible microbes (spirulina) to produce acetaminophen (Tylenol). This is an impressive proof-of-concept for "small molecule production derived from CO2, H2O, and light in an edible host for bioavailable, oral drug delivery."

Hello Mastodonians, I'll be tooting from #Scotland this week.
Our recent work has focused on the development of small-molecule inhibitors for #HDAC enzymes as well as the "undruggable" transcription factors #STAT3 and #STAT5 as potential treatments for hematological malignancies and other cancers.

We're a #medicinalchemistry lab in the Centre for Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Toronto Mississauga. Our lab is a dynamic research environment with pharma-quality facilities. Research translation is a central goal of our work, and several companies have sprung out of technologies developed in our lab!

Catching up on some C&EN. Devastated to read my friend and mentor Randall Munson has passed. He took me under his wing when I first started at Aventis and learned a ton from him. Both medicinal chemistry and baseball. Spent so many hours talking with him about both as we had offices next door. Kept in touch after leaving for several years and he was always a big supporter of mine as I transitioned to academia. Mentors are difficult to find, but can be lasting.
Day 1 of my advent calendar.
What I love about being a PI is the diversity of the students I get to work with. Sometimes that does have challenges due to world issues. One of my talented students, Vika, who is Ukrainian, has been working hard since the Russian invasion to gather medical supplies to send back to Ukraine. It was great to be able to contribute to the cause by getting these awesome pieces of art - one by the great Jeff Koterba.
First post an a short intro. Iβm a medicinal chemist/drug discoverer in academia. My group works on a variety of areas: cancer and neuroscience mainly. For (permanent) fun, when my students discover an in vivo probe, it gets tattooed on me. Canβt wait for our #PROTAC project to be successful, may need my leg.
