🔊Check out our work in @ScienceMagazine. We identify a new weak point (TCG codon) in the codon table of mammalian cells and recode it into non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) with impressive efficiency and selectivity. This strategy, rare codon recoding (RCR), is very different!


How long and how much it takes from idea to publication? Here is my tale of three molecules that I designed more than 11 years ago.

Congrats to Prof David Li (@XDavidLiLab1) from @HKU_Chemistry and Prof Stephanie Ma (@stephaniema912) from @hkusbms on being awarded this year's #HKU Outstanding Researcher Award for their exceptional research accomplishments! 🎥youtube.com/watch?v=9g1axQ…


We put a lot of thinkings and efforts in this paper. Hope this will be useful to the peptide/protein chemistry community. "Precision in Protein Chemical Modification and Total Synthesis". authors.elsevier.com/a/1i8PB8jWHEHS…



Great to meet so many people from @hkumed @hkusbms - thanks for coming to visit @TheCrick
