Are worms good or bad (in the long term)? In new work, I examine links between infectious diseases in childhood and adult lifespan decades later, and test the role of pathogens in childhood on allergies in adulthood: the “hygiene hypothesis”. (1/10)

We are excited to share our lab’s first research article! rdcu.be/dU5AC We have developed Transferrin Receptor Targeting Chimeras (TransTACs), a novel class of heterobispecific antibodies designed for targeted degradation of membrane proteins. nature.com/articles/s4158…

1/ 🚨 Excited to share my Postdoc research with @geochurchlab at @harvadmed! Dive into our discoveries on the central dogma of biology, antibiotic resistance, #compbio designs, and #synbio. 🧬🔬 Check our paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to be joining @UoMChemistry as a Lecturer in Electrochemistry in February 2024! For more information check out cobblab.co.uk. Watch this space, we will be recruiting for PhD students soon! #NewPI

We're excited to welcome Azim Dharani (@Azim_Dharani ), a first-year Chemical Biology Ph.D. student, to the lab for his rotation! Azim studied Chemistry and Computational Biology at Duke University.

Check out our latest publication on @angew_chem about "Carboxysome-inspired electrocatalysis using enzymes for the reduction of CO2 at low concentrations"!🤩 Congratulations to @SamCobb_Chem, @Azim_Dharani, and co-authors (@InsCardosoPere1) 👉onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

USC Dornsife junior wins sought-after Goldwater scholarship 🏆 “I am most interested in mapping the biological basis of complex behaviors and how they may be altered in neuropsychological disorders," says Neuroscience major Ammar Dharani. 🔬: ow.ly/YeS050IGRfB @USCNATSCI

Glad to have contributed to this project during my MPhil in the @ReisnerLab alongside @SamCobb_Chem! With this work, we show how to modify the local environment for improved enzyme-assisted fuel production. nature.com/articles/s4155…

here is a photo of said favorite students and one of their favorite professors of all time! ❤️ @elena_puccio @Azim_Dharani

Last week we said goodbye to our MPhil student Azim @Azim_Dharani! It was great having you in our group and we wish you all the best for your future! See you in the states! 🙂🎊🤗

Some thoughts on my first term at Cambridge and doing science abroad in a pandemic! churchillscholars2021.wordpress.com/2020/12/23/emb…

Super excited to share our recent #preprint describing HT-MEK (High-Throughput Microfluidic Enzyme Kinetics): biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Six years in the making! Many congratulations to lead authors Crag Markin & Daniel Mokhtari from our lab and Dan Herschlag's lab (1/3).

CASP14 #s just came out and they’re astounding—DeepMind looks to have solved protein structure prediction. Median GDT_TS went from 68.5 (CASP13) to 92.4!!!! Cf. their 2nd best CASP13 struct scored 92.8 (out of 100). Median RMSD is 2.1Å. I think it's over predictioncenter.org/casp14/zscores…

New "group picture", adapting to the circumstances! #Covid_19 #zoom group meeting, time for group picture update! 🥂

Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends. Thank you, Alex.

Joe Biden PRACTICED

Exclusive: The Times has obtained tax-return data for President Trump extending over more than two decades. It shows his finances under stress, beset by losses that he aggressively employs to avoid paying taxes and hundreds of millions in debt coming due. nyti.ms/308oHAj

Despite having a bunch of visa trouble, I’ve arrived at Cambridge for my Master’s! So thankful for my family, friends, and mentors who have done so much for me—I still can’t believe I’m here!!
