Congrats to Nicolau Sbaraini for his #MyFirstChemSci 🥳 Another great collab w/ Microbialscreening.com Andrew Piggott Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences Molecular Sci-UWA Checkout here: pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

A great way to end the week with a lab BBQ by the river #perthisok w/ amazing 🍔 from Amr Arishi celebrating our recent Chemical Science Angewandte Chemie publications and Clara Woodcraft thesis submission 🍾🥂 But also farewell to Darren Holland 🥲 All the best in Tassie, Darren!

🚨 Exciting Opportunity! 🚨 Molecular Sci-UWA is hiring for the Metcalf Chair in Chemical Biology! Lead innovative research at the intersection of chemistry and biology. Join us in shaping the future! 🌟 #ChemicalBiology #ResearchExcellence odgersberndtson.com/opportunities/…

Honoring the legacy of Akira Endo, the scientist whose discovery of statins revolutionized heart disease treatment. A Lasker Award winner, Endo pioneered cholesterol-lowering drugs that prevent heart attacks and continue to benefit millions worldwide. ow.ly/UInW50U2Azc

Our paper on the molecular basis for the Biosynthesis of the 1st reported Fatty Acid Synthase Inhibitor - Cerulenin - is now officially published in Angewandte Chemie Check out our work! Molecular Sci-UWA Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences microbialscreening.com

And that's a wrap! Successful completion of the 3rd Aus-NZ Nat Products Chem Bio Symposium over the past 2 days. Great to hear about all the great science in the region and catch up with colleagues! events.humanitix.com/3rd-aus-nz

Merry X'mas 🎁 to whoever that will receive my 25th 🩸 Thanks for the opportunity to give 😇 And thank you, the Morley lifebloodau team for your fantastic work and for the 🍫 & cute mementos 🎄🤗

MIBiG 4.0 is out! Thanks @MitjaMZ and Kai Blin for spearheading this huge effort, and to the entire community for investing time in extending this resource on BGCs of known function.

Happy to announce the beta release of #BiGSCAPE2! This is the result of a great effort by Arjan Draisma, Catarina Loureiro and Nico Louwen, who worked tirelessly to improve the code from the ground up! See the major features here github.com/medema-group/B…

In a year with so little to cheer about so far, I am happy to share our manuscript on a copper-dependent halogenase. Unbelievable effort by GS Yorick Chiang and Scientist Ph.D Masao Ohashi at UCLA Chem & Biochem UCLA Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering . Thank you to all collaborators and @NIGMS. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Deeply sad to hear the news about Julian Davies passing away yesterday. Beyond being a great scientist and a mentor we were friends for over 30 years. Your legacy will leave on forever with me UBC Dept of Microbiology and Immunology Institut Pasteur, since 1887 #antibiotics #AMR

Congrats Brodie! If you use DFT calculations for your #naturalproduct research, check out this tool!

Excited to share that my paper has been published in ACSChemBio! A great collaboration with Zhuo (Alex) Shang and Heng Chooi. Thanks to my spvs @petersolomon99 Megan McDonald and other collaborators Joe Bracegirdle Andrew Piggott Stephen Moggach pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congrats Reynaldi D. Zhuo (Alex) Shang for the interesting finding of virulence metabolites from a cereal pathogen! A great collaboration @petersolomon99 Megan McDonald Andrew Piggott Joe Bracegirdle Stephen Moggach Joe Bracegirdle Molecular Sci-UWA ANU Division of Plant Sciences Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences

Heng Chooi talks about #fungal biosynthetic potential and #metabolite discovery ECFG17 - 17 European Conference on Fungal Genetics

Congrats Zhuo (Alex) Shang and Zongqiang Wang's teams for this amazing discovery on polyene antifungal with a new mode of action! 🦠 nature

Still find this fascinating... what such a small centrifuge can do
