Swipe through to learn about how our scientists are researching different mechanisms and modalities to potentially treat cancer in innovative ways. 🧬

Excited to share some highlights of the @NOBCChE conference where members of the @LupoliLab & @leelab_nyu: @aweon_rich @kuukson Terrence gave technical talks while Tazrif, Chloe & Nadine presented their undergraduate posters. Join us Today at Expo Booth #228 #Nobcche51

Congrats Nathan, Isabelle, Eric, Sam C. and Chao on this collaborative work with the Zhang lab (@nyuchemistry) and NYU Langone! A Repurposed Drug Interferes with Nucleic Acid to Inhibit the Dual Activities of Coronavirus Nsp13 | ACS Chemical Biology pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Interested in learning how dyes might help in characterizing protein activity? We're excited to share the development of a protein-adaptive DSF platform (paDSF), a dye-based method used to interrogate stability, dynamics, and ligand binding! go.nature.com/4ajNRNp

Nice talk by Gideon on peptide-based probes in our Friday afternoon student talk series! @nyuchemistry

Could be quite useful!

Had a wonderful time at #50NOBCCHE. I am so happy to have met you all . @NOBCChE, thank you for allowing me to be with such amazing chemist and chemical engineers and thank you for selecting me as the 2023 #WinifredBurksHouck Graduate Leadership Awardee. #blackexcellence

#NOBCChE50 was such a fulfilling experience. Being able to present my work and meet so many amazingly brilliant black chemists and engineers inspires me so much! The next 50 years of @NOBCChE is extremely bright⭐️

Excited to share some highlights on the first day of the @NOBCChE conference where @aweon_rich presented at the technical session. Also present are members of the @LupoliLab @leelab_nyu and @Weck_Group Join us at Booth #712 #nobcche2023 #nobcche50

Paramjit S. Arora is the recipient of the 2024 ACS Ralph F. Hirschmann Award in Peptide Chemistry, sponsored by Merck Research Laboratories. Congrats to Bobby!

Congrats to Brock and Nathan on their latest work with modified J-proteins! Bacterial J‐Domains with C‐Terminal Tags Contact the Substrate Binding Domain of DnaK and Sequester Chaperone Activity - Nelson - ChemBioChem - Wiley Online Library …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cb…

Continuing our interest in noncanonical amino acid synthesis, we developed a chemoenzymatic approach to azacyclic noncanonicals with additional terminal branching, allowing access to >20 AA products. Kudos to Tsung-Han, Xiangyu and Yu for this work! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Congrats to Tania Lupoli, International Chemical Biology Society Early Career Investigator! as.nyu.edu/departments/ch…

Had a great time at my first @GordonConf! Learned a lot about HTP technologies, got to connect with amazing scientists, and share my current research project. A major thank you to the Carl Storm Fellowship for sponsoring this trip!

Check out Aweon's short review on how different peptide scaffolds have been used to modulate chaperone function. Congrats Aweon! Peptide-based molecules for the disruption of bacterial Hsp70 chaperon... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
