Way to go @ColleenNiswend2 !

Exciting find in #JMedChem! Quinazoline compounds bind to SOS2 catalytic site and a new binding site discovered! #SOS2 #boehringer go.acs.org/cex

Sitting on the front row of today's VU Chemical Biology seminar featuring Dr.ErinCalipari were former VICB director Gary Sulikowski, founding director Larry Marnett, and current director Doug Mitchell.

I was happy to treat Aaron Waterson to a Hibachi dinner last night after he successfully defended his master's thesis. #ProudDadMoment As an aside, it was fascinating to sit in on a defense in an area so far outside of my field.

We are delighted to welcome Fleur Ferguson to Vanderbilt University for today's VU Chemical Biology seminar. Looking forward to some awesome science this afternoon!

Big news in antibiotics! 🚨 The FDA just approved gepotidacin (Blujepa) for UTIs—thanks to research on DNA topoisomerases by Vanderbilt’s Dr. Neil Osheroff! 🧬 His work helped pave the way for this breakthrough. 🔗 Read more: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

This is a great summary of just part of the impact of ongoing biomedical research Vanderbilt University . Return on investment, indeed!

21,000 announced attendance at #AACR25 . I think all of them are here in the Plenary session to see Kevan Shokat talk about progress in KRAS drug discovery.

The National Academy of Sciences elected two Vanderbilt faculty to the 2025 class to recognize their distinguished and continuing achievements in research. Congratulations to Heidi Hamm (Vanderbilt School of Medicine Basic Sciences) and Eric Skaar (@VUArtSci and @VUMedicine)!

Looking forward to this symposium and especially the keynote presentation by Marty Burke!

#New research from VICB faculty! 🧪 🔹 Stephen Fesik and Alex Waterson co-authors a JMedChem paper on BI-2493, a pan-KRAS inhibitor with in vivo efficacy 🔹 Ken Lau features in 3 studies on spatial transcriptomics, microbiota-immune signaling & data management Vanderbilt School of Medicine Basic Sciences

Outstanding! Really looking forward to seeing how this develops!
