Congratulations Garrett Muir for successfully defending your PhD #thesis! It was a great presentation and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours! #chemtwitter #thesisdefense #PhDone

Great talks this morning at #FACS2024 by BrittonLab Simon Fraser University on nucleotides, Estelle Metay ICBMS Lyon on sustainable additives & Juliette Martin @seqens_group about green manufacturing of API

Check out our latest publication and great collaboration with the LaboratoryChemicalGlycobiology! Congrats Simha, Anthony, Matt, Yang and all others on a great story about the preparation and use of a fucose mimetic to potentially block cellular fucosylation! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… #chemtwitter

GlycoNet investigators LaboratoryChemicalGlycobiology and BrittonLab at Simon Fraser University have created a sugar-blocking technology that “supercharges” antibodies to target cancer more effectively.

Some lab members ditched the lab to enjoy a beautiful day on Bowen Island yesterday! A perfect way to end off the week ☀️ #chemistswhohike #chemtwitter

Guillermo presented his work on the formal synthesis of eribulin at the Mexican Academy of Organic Chemistry annual conference ( Academia Mexicana de Química Orgánica A.C. ) recently! He also did a TV interview to share what a Chemistry PhD does for a living... Way to represent the group well! #chemtwitter

Congratulations to Suping for recently successfully defending his masters thesis! During his time in the Britton lab, Suping developed some elegant chemistry towards the synthesis of some complex nucleoside analogues. We're very proud of you Suping! #chemtwitter #mastersdefense

For #GBW2024, let's throw back to an exciting breakthrough by @Vocadlogroup & BrittonLab! Their sugar-blocking tech for developing therapeutic antibodies to target cancer is being commercialized by GlycoNet-supported startup Carbaform. Read more: ow.ly/Uxih50Ttyp8

Congratulations to our very own Dr. Garrett Muir for his now published work on the synthesis of the phormidolide A macrocycle, recently out in J Org Chem/Org Lett !! #chemtwitter

A delicious welcome lunch at SFU's dining commons (HQ) for new graduate students Megan, Breanna, and Olises and new post-doc Mamda. #chemtwitter

We recently had a celebration for Simha, a former post-doc in the lab who secured a position at Gilead Sciences !!! Thank you Simha for being an excellent leader in the group and an exemplary chemist and experimentalist. All the best in your future endeavours! #chemtwitter

Congratulations to Rob for this exciting achievement and recognition! #chemtwitter

Fresh article out now in Chemical Science !!! Well done to the team for the hard work put towards this exciting project! Yet another example of how ɑFAR aldol products are excellent and diversifiable precursors towards nucleoside analogues. #chemtwitter pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Britton Lab Christmas Dinner 2024 complete with delicious food from CRAFT Beer Market and a fun Pirate Santa game🎁🎅🏼 with plenty of 'gift-stealing' (mainly the special cereal and lotto tickets). Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our lab to you and yours! #chemtwittter

Congratulations to Dr. Garrett Muir (and other Britton lab co-authors) for this interesting investigation of Grignard reactions to C4'-modified nucleoside analogues in collaboration with Merck , L.-C. Campeau Ph.D. , and Steven Silverman ... Excellent work everyone! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Congratulations to Daniel and Darryl for an excellent publication in Chemical Science !!! Showcasing an exhaustive and impressive chemical library of 170 polypeptide-like macrolides ... well done! #chemtwitter pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We enjoyed an amazing BBQ outing yesterday at Strathcona Lookout Park in Deep Cove! The day was filled with fun on the water in paddle boards and canoes (thanks Rob!) along side some competitive spike ball games in the park :) #chemtwitter #teambonding

Check out our latest publication in collaboration with BC Cancer featured in JACS!!! Big congratulations to Dr. Daniel Driedger as this was a substantial portion of his PhD thesis! This synthesis of Eleutherobin has been a long time coming (> a decade)!!! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Thank you to the Stephenson Group for hosting us University of British Columbia for our first joint group meeting! We enjoyed learning about the photoredox/electrochemical research your team undertakes and were excited to share a glimpse into our nucleoside/total synthesis research with you! #chemtwitter

New publication out in Angewandte Chemie on the "Synthesis and Diversification of Bridged Nucleoside Analogues" in collaboration with Merck, L.-C. Campeau Ph.D., and Steven Silverman ... check it out! #chemtwitter #nucleosides onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
