Postdoc in the Bogyo Lab @Stanford, PhD from the Pratt Lab @USC. Chemistry is cool!



Check out our latest work using ratiometric fluorescent probe for real time imaging of cancer during surgery. Great work from @FrancoFaucher and @__mguerra__ pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

So excited to finally be sharing this story!! Thank you to the many collaborators (including @taylorhnguyen in KC Huang's lab, the teams of @ajodonoghue, @MJNiphakis and Ami Bhatt, and my mentor @MLakeme) for helping me and @mbogyo bring this story to life!

We have a new paper out thanks to @ChemicalBiology where we show that adding short fattty-acids to the anomeric position of monosaccharide reporters (“MCRs”) allows them to enter cells but avoids unwanted chemical reactions with cysteine. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102….

First follow-up paper to our discovery (in @nchembio) that O-GlcNAc controls MYPT1 activity is out in @jbiolchem. We show that O-GlcNAc inhibits LPA-induced actinomyosin activation and contraction in fibroblasts. Grats to @MurielleMorales & @NikkiPedowitz. jbc.org/article/S0021-…


Excited to share our publication in @OJSM_SportsMed with @kristyarb and @drtinamaster! Male and female high school soccer had the highest head impact rate across four sports. Male teams also had higher impact rates than female teams of the same sport. doi.org/10.1177/232596…



Good vibes and holiday cheers from the USC Chem department! youtu.be/kpDbMT-FjHg 🥰

Join us December 7th-12th for our annual CGSO Holiday Party (now with more distance!)
