Congratulations Hite Lab Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center!!
My favorite part: residues specifying Etn vs Cho uptake. Potential clues for evolution of nutrient uptake programs?

Introducing *infrared*-operated azobenzene photopharmaceuticals, with quantitative Z→E switching, that work in live cells!

Preprint out soon with a BANG...

Congrats to Dr Ben Baumgartner & our 9-group collaboration for bringing this to life!

Congrats to CornellChemistry's very own Pete Wolczanski on election to the NAS!

Big advance for phosphoinositide imaging: a new genetically encoded biosensor for PI4P, from Shinya Tsukiji Lab Kazuhiro Aoki & Fubito Nakatsu!

Had a blast sharing our membrane editing work from Reika Tei Julia Xiang-Ling Li Masaaki Uematsu at the 2024 International Symposium for Biofunctional Chemistry, at the beautiful Toyoda Auditorium Nagoya University in picturesque Nagoya 🇯🇵! Thank you to Shinya Tsukiji Lab for being such an amazing host!

Happy to share our latest paper on protein pyrophosphorylation - yes, it exists! It has been a long journey with many wonderful co-workers and collaborators. Thank you all!

It was a really exciting workshop! Thanks to all the speakers for their amazing talks and to all the attendees!!

Hello, Kyoto! Had a fantastic day of science, food, hot springs, history, culture, and cell culture — the incubators where iPSCs were first produced by Yamanaka are on display CiRA Kyoto University. Onto ISBC 2024 in Nagoya tomorrow!!

Huge congratulations to #proudofalumni Reika Tei for winning an inaugural 2024 ACS Biochem and ChemBio Young Investigator Award!!! CornellChemistry Weill Institute for Cell & Molecular Biology Sarafan ChEM-H Alice Ting

Today is a special day. Our multi-year study led by an AMAZING group of scientists Mariko Takahashi, Harrison Chong and Siwen Zhang comes out Cell. DrugMap: A quantitative pan-cancer analysis of cysteine ligandability. Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1izTCL7PXqQHi.

The original Staudinger ligation paper was famously led by incoming first-year grad student Eliana Saxon during a summer rotation after senior Carolyn Bertozzi group grad students talked themselves out of it b/c it seemed too crazy to work. Not too shabby! doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Some of the most daring experiments in my lab were pulled off by undergrads. Simply because they didn’t know it was daunting, it seemed logical, they went and did it!

Great to be here and a wonderful program. Thanks for including me.

What a treat to spend the day with a fantastic group of students at the Cornell University Chemistry-Biology Interface Symposium. Thanks for hosting!

Had an awesome day CornellChemistry today!! Thanks to all the CBI trainees, speakers, and Jeremy Baskin for the amazing time! (Totally made the 22 hour travel time worth it 😂)
