I'm so excited to announce that I'll be joining @NovartisScience in Cambridge as a Discovery Postdoctoral Fellow!! I'll be using chemical biology and chemoproteomics to advance covalent drug discovery! And HUGE thanks to @adivkrn and the lab for an amazing send-off ceremony!

What an insane journey. Last month, I graduated from @UCBerkeley with my PhD in Chemical Biology. I am eternally grateful to my mentor @DanNomura, my family, and all the wonderful friends I have made during my time in The Bay. Thank you so much for your never-ending support!

@HoockJoseph @laraialab Congrats Joseph! Incredible achievement!

I'm super happy and proud to share that today I won a prize for Best PhD in Medicinal Chemistry in Denmark. Grateful for my supervisor @laraialab and all collaborators I got to work with along the way. Excited to represent Denmark at the #EFMC-ISMC 2024 in Rome later this year.

Check out this amazing preprint from the lab of @DanNomura, where @melissalim00, @ThangDoCong, and a brilliant team discovered a transplantable covalent DCAF16 recruiter for rationally synthesizing monovalent degraders against a diverse array of protein targets!

Super excited to share our story on the the rational design of monovalent degraders using a DCAF16 covalent handle alongside with an amazing postdoc @ThangDoCong !!! Huge thanks to @DanNomura @EthanToriki @L__Orreo @JPapatzimas and @NovartisScience for making this possible!

In our latest preprint, we used SuFEx chemistry on solid phase for a quick and easy library synthesis of HDACis: doi.org/10.26434/chemr… This was a fun project started by Michael Bæk and developed by @HanseNrby and I, with great help from Erasmus student Linda Grlas! 1/8

@DanNomura & co-workers identify a rational chemical design strategy for converting nondegradative protein-targeting ligands into molecular glue degraders of their target proteins. NEW #ASAP Read it here: go.acs.org/4Um

So thrilled to finally share our story in @ACSCentSci on our transplantable covalent handle to rationally design molecular glue degraders! Fantastic work done by @JPapatzimas, @DankovaDaniela, @DanNomura and the lab, and @NovartisScience! Congrats to all involved!

So happy that I could contribute to this cool story and be a part of one fantastic team! Do you have a binder for your favourite protein? You’re a couple of steps away from having a molecular glue degrader too!

Congrats to my good friends @EthanToriki and @JPapatzimas on getting this amazing work out!!

So happy to finally see our story on the rational design of molecular glue degraders out @ACSCentSci. Such an amazing effort from @EthanToriki, the @DanNomura group, and the entire @NovartisScience team!

Check out this amazing study on a covalent UBE2D recruiter for TPD applications by my great buddy @NafsikaForte! Wonderful work by all involved!
