We are rocking Erice! This time Jasmin with an XChem poster on our ASAP Discovery work done Centre for Medicines Discovery and Diamond Light Source. Go team!

Another Erice talk from Jasmin in the XChem team on the EV-D68 3C protease fragment screen we did as part of ASAP Discovery. Our first ASAP fragment screen is now out in the wild!

If you are IUCr2023 you can come find out how XChem are using crystallographic fragment screening to enable open science discovery of new antivirals as a member of ASAP Discovery at poster P0046.

IUCr2023 is on! 🇦🇺 Come and talk to us about facilities, instruments, research projects, career/studentship opportunities at Diamond Light Source and find out more about lightsources.org💡

Tuesday was the official start of IUCr2023, but the action started early with the Recent Advances in Crystallographic Fragment Screening workshop at the Australian Synchrotron where I got to present some of my PhD work #IUCr2023 #RACFS

Are you attending IUCr2023? Come and visit the Diamond Light Source & lightsources.org exhibition booth, we have a #lightforscience t-shirt waiting for you!

We hiring two posts to XChem and ASAP Discovery, to develop next-gen methods in progressing fragment hits to potency, fast: * much smarter biophysics (vacancies.diamond.ac.uk/vacancy/postdo… - closing THIS SUNDAY); * much better informatics (vacancies.diamond.ac.uk/vacancy/pdra-o… - closing Oct 22)

📢 Exciting job opportunity !! A postdoc position is available in my lab at STRUBIOxford Nuffield Department of Medicine University of Oxford to study influenza virus transcription, genome replication, nuclear export and assembly in a stimulating lab environment. my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

PDB released 478 SARS-CoV-2 structures this week, including 466 mpros with inhibitors from the COVID Moonshot project. 966 have been released this year (shown), for 3826 total since the first CV19 structure was released in Feb 2020. Explore them all at rcsb.org/covid19

Today is #WorldScienceDay - and we are celebrating just some of the ground-breaking research that happens here in the #Synchrotron

Just released in Science Magazine, the COVID Moonshot Consortium, of which we are a proud member, reveals that #OpenScience is a viable route to early #DrugDiscovery, with the first-ever crowd-sourced small molecule discovery & a potent SARS-CoV-2 antiviral lead compound

You can hear more about this paper, and the work done at Diamond'd XChem and I04-1 beamlines on BBC Oxfordshire with Sophie Law here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

The SDDC team hard at work looking for new chemical fragments! thank you to the support scientists XChem for all the help Diamond MX Beamlines

So excited to be at Diamond Light Source to do some so so so so very cool experiments the next few days XChem Becker lab #Ebola #fragments #antivirals #verylittlesleepahead

This week I had the privilege to share my XChem user experience as the Centre for Medicines Discovery BAG PI at ccp4_mx study weekend with lessons from ASAP Discovery and COVID Moonshot. What a way to start the year.

We're recruiting: Science Coordinator (Jr / Sr) to ASAP Discovery in XChem team at Diamond Light Source. See vacancies.diamond.ac.uk/vacancy/scienc… - deadline Jan 15. For scientists who're done postdocing, but like large collabs, coordinating, writing, outreach - ping me if any questions.

Brought some diamonds to Diamond!💎 Its’s synchrotron time. Let’s fish 1.2 k crystals. #science #xray #structuralbiology Diamond Light Source Marko Hyvönen

Despite several runs at the wonderful XChem facility, I still can't quite comprehend that in just a few days we can have 1000+ crystal structures and hopefully many of them with a teeny tiny fragment bound in the target site. #FBDD on steroids 💪🏻

We are recruiting a PDRA to enable crystallographic fragment screening and high-throughput structural biology to support our NIH funded, open-science, antiviral drug discovery projects ASAP Discovery vacancies.diamond.ac.uk/vacancy/postdo… Please get in touch if you have any questions.
