I'm a collab on this cool #peptide project-only a year contract unfortunately but we are a supportive lovely dept and will do everything we can to promote your next steps. Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemistry​​ - King's College London-please RT kcl.ac.uk/jobs/080726-po…

Come join us at @DurhamChemistry! We are looking for an Assistant Professor in Organic Chemistry/Chemical Biology. Deadline on 11/12/2023: durham.taleo.net/careersection/… Feel free to contact me for more info - it is a great place to start/move your group.

Really looking forward to this, and to meeting researchers from the Biophysical Science Institute @Durham_BSI. Thanks for the invite and the award!

Last Friday was our Sharing - our annual event to bring together those working on art-science collaborations. See our website to find out more about our art-science collaboration platform BSI Create - bit.ly/3RCoiBv #ThankYou to all those who took part!

Last week we had the first of our new Grant Writing Plenaries - and we started of with Prof Mark Leake @BPSIYork who talked to our community of academics about @BBSRC applications for physical scientists. #ThankYou #AcademicSupport #WritingCommunity bit.ly/45STu3m

A new stable fluorinated organic azide made from tetrafluoroethylene allows the synthesis of HCF2CF2-substituted triazoles, imidazoles and some tetrazoles. It's probably my 100th paper and 10th in JOC. pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

To bind or just to link, that is the discussion! Our work on 1,2,3-Triazoles in biomolecular crystallography is finally out. Tremendous work by @RenzoCarlucci and @MaNataliaLisa. @IQUIR_CONICET @IBR_CONICET @fbioyfunr #JMedChem @ACSBioMed pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Runner up @Durham_BSI 2023 Town Hall - Amir Ghasem @Durham_Eng "AI-assisted Design of an Ultra Stretchable Active Metasurface for Optical Biosensors"

Could peptoids be used as a promising drug to defeat viruses? Here’s the recently published paper about developing several peptoids against enveloped viruses. It’s a pleasure to share my thoughts about membrane-active peptides/peptoids in this article. chemistryworld.com/news/synthetic…
