@Pr0fJess @DukeU Would definitely recommend anyone even remotely interested to give it a shot and apply. Some of the best training you will get, make some great friends along the way, and also get exposure to fields of research you might not have considered yet!

Applications for our Amgen Scholars Program @DukeU are now open! If you are interested in a summer undergraduate research opportunity please apply.

First year of grad school all done! Excited to pass the squeaker and juvenile phases and become pigs of the sounder! @doc_jlmeier @JeffsChemBio @harrychembio @DavidByunCCB @UCSF #chembio

@kamyaryzd @UCSF @realJimWells Congratulations on deciding!

Excited to announce after three amazing rotations @UCSF, I will be joining @realJimWells lab to become a protein engineer and expand our understanding of the cell surface. I’m grateful to all three labs for their warm welcome and amazing mentorship in this process.

Thanks for hosting us @exploratorium and @frazierarchive! Always great to see science inclusivity at play with the new “Plantasticas” exhibit. It’s really encouraging to see the new and creative ways we’re taking to help bring science closer to people’s everyday lives.

The number of times I have tried and failed to explain my chemistry to friends and family strikes a real chord

This is what can happen if basic research is actively and aggressively funded. Here’s our 2006 paper that started targeted LSD1 inhibition off...a version of the arylcyclopropylamine we found persists in the Merck compound! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@OdedRechavi I remember trying to fit an Atlanta conference into $200 for three nights of lodging and food

Academics Vs. Industry traveling to a conference

@deweyslab Congratz!

Men’s collegiate basketball signing day - We were happy that my daughter could be included in the picture via FaceTime

Nothing communicates thrilling science quite like a good storyteller. Presenting phone captures of a computer screen NMR is certainly one way to drive home the exciting success of a recent reaction. Amazing keynote by Dr. Ian Seiple to wrap up #BACS2022!

@VictorKiryak Oops I meant x followed by y

@VictorKiryak Identical molecules but flipped across an x=y axis

@deweyslab The delicious bacteria chow

Three guesses as to what this is…

@kamyar_yazdani Inb4 you tell me to synthesize a Pentazinane because “it’s the perfect combination of hydrogen donors, acceptors, and fills up the space!”

De novo drug design can expand the chemical space explored to trillions of molecules but synthetic tractability has to be a strong consideration in growing new molecules.

BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”

Excited to attend #QBIChemBio22 symposium! Hard to believe I’m in the same room as a who’s who list of chemical biology leaders and experts alongside colleagues and friends. @QBI_UCSF

@kwon_mikey @roizengroup Congratulations! Thanks for TAing my lab all those years ago c:

This morning I defended my Ph.D. dissertation! This journey was possible from great support and guidance from my advisors, @roizengroup and @hargrovelab. With that, I’m excited to announce that I will be joining @goodwinlaw Boston office in few weeks as a science advisor!

Taking a BiTE out of KRAS G12C drug resistant tumors with cell surface drug presentation. 🙏 @CraikLab for collaborating on our first adventure in biologics. @bignerdzzy @PRoh_94 @UCSFCancer @HHMINEWS cell.com/cancer-cell/fu…

You know you’re a chemist when… you’re genuinely excited about a new propane tank for flame drying 🤠😎🔥

First week (aka Bootcamp) of the PhD program complete! #UCSF #PhDstudent
