Thank you, Marnix and Julia, for representing our group at #EMBOChemBio, and big congratulations, Miguel, on winning a poster award.
The @LED3hub was well represented at the EMBO Chemical Biology Conference #EMBOChemBio.
Julia Pols, Marnix Roseboom and Miguel Mata presented their work on a poster, Julia presented a Flash Talk and Miguel won one of the highly competitive poster awards. Congratulations!
Thank you to all of them for representing our @LED3hub during this event!
#EMBOChemBio was truly outstanding. Thank you to all participants for making this such a stimulating experience. Special thanks to the organizers Maja Köhn, Bryan Dickinson and Yimon Aye. Looking forward to seeing many of you again at the next edition on September 8th - 11th, 2026.
Huge congratulations to the winners of the poster awards of #EMBOChemBio:
Patrick Keppel, Hannes Mikula lab
J. Miguel Mata, Sebastian Pomplun lab
Ella Livnah, Nir London lab
Nicholas Southern, Dominik Niopek lab
Thomas Maher, Marco Di Antonio lab (and alumnus of our group)
Janine Gray, Ed Tate lab
Being selected by the attendees out of all the amazing posters, is surely a great achievement. Thank you to all poster presenters for sharing your great data and engaging in lively discussions.
#EMBOChemBio is coming to an end with an inspiring keynote lecture by Sarah O'Connor. She highlighted the diverse natural products that plants are making and how her group is working to elucidate the underlying biosynthesis pathways. https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2318586121
Great talk by Thorsten Stafforst at #EMBOChemBio. He talked about his group's amazing work on precise and targeted RNA editing with adenosine deaminase. He gave an interesting comparison of the applications of RNA and DNA editing technologies. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-50395-w
He also gave an overview of target engagement studies using proximity biotinylation in the Drug-ID platform. Great insights into studying the binders of small molecules and therapeutic oligonucleotides. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41589-023-01530-z
Interesting talk by Olalla Vázquez at #EMBOChemBio. She gave a broad overview of her group's activities including optical tools to study epigenetics, fluorophores to label bacteria as well as antimicrobial peptides. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/anie.201804090
Great talk by Daniel Summerer at #EMBOChemBio. He talked about his group's work on designing proteins that act as specific readers for epigenetic DNA modifications and allow us to better understand their functions. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.202318837
Getting ready for the final day of #EMBOChemBio. Highlights of the day for me will be talks by Olalla Vázquez, Daniel Summerer and Sarah O'Connor as well as finding out, who won the highly competitive poster award out of all the amazing posters.
Great talk by Bruno Correia at #EMBOChemBio. He talked about his group's work on computational protein design. Interesting insights into using inverted AlphaFold 2, into making membrane proteins soluble and into designing protein binders. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/pro.4653
Exciting talk by Luc Brunsveld at #EMBOChemBio. He talked about the systematic discovery of molecular glues in the 14-3-3 system using dynamic covalent fragment libraries targeting cysteines or lysines. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acscentsci.2c01449
Great talk by Nicola Porzberg from the group of Kai Johnsson at #EMBOChemBio. She talked about her research into converting transient calcium spikes into permanent labels for posthoc analysis. The developed Caprola tools rely on Ca-dependent split HaloTags https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg0812
Interesting talk by Deborah Fass at #EMBOChemBio. She talked about her group's exciting research into the structure and supramolecular assembly of secreted, highly glycosylated mucins and the implications for human health and disease. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867420311624?via%3Dihub
Excited for day 3 of #EMBOChemBio. Looking forward to great talks by e.g. Bruno Correia, Luc Brunsveld, Deborah Fass and Nicola Porzberg from the lab of Kai Johnsson as well as to the poster session to continue the fascinating discussions.
.@CellChemBiol is at #EMBOChemBio @EMBLEvents in person! Meet with our Editor-in-Chief @DeyMishtu to tell her all about your research.
Amazing keynote lecture by Kai Johnsson at #EMBOChemBio. He talked about transferring transient cellular events into permanent marks for post hoc analysis. Great examples of monitoring protein-protein interactions, GPCR activation and neuronal activity. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg0812
The poster sessions at #EMBOChemBio are really outstanding. It was amazing to discuss diverse aspects of chemical biology including protein modification, click-to-release, proximity induction, transmembrane transport and so much more. Thank you to all presenters!
Great talk by Anne Schuhmacher from the Ed Tate lab at #EMBOChemBio. She talked about her research on studying specific targets of S-acylation by ZDHHC using a bump-and-hole approach. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-023-02030-0
Great talk by Sarah Slavoff at #EMBOChemBio. She talked about her group's research into identifying additional protein-coding sequences in the human genome that are not traditionally identified including smORFs and alternative ORFs. https://analyticalsciencejournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pmic.202100211
