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!!

Two great conferences for the price of one! With speakers Carol Williams of Medical College of Wisconsin for #PLSRC and Juan S. Bonifacino NIH for #SGTPSRC and organizers Shernaz Bamji, bryan dickinson, Prekeris Lab, and more, there will be lots to learn. Save your space: hubs.ly/Q02sPgH50

Check out our recent collaborative review!

Out today in Nature Chemistry, the Bryan Dickinson Lab has developed acid-chlorides for mapping RNA inside cells.

My first publication, co-authored with the amazing Tian Qiu, from my PhD at UChicago Chemistry is finally out in Nature Chemistry. Check out how cool acid-chlorides are for mapping RNA inside cells. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Our new proximity labeling technology is now published!!

This new subgroup is doing some amazing work - more to come!

It was truly an honor for Aleksandar Radakovic and me to host our mentor BogerLab during the Closs Lecture at UChicago Chemistry. Having our old mentor visit is akin to welcoming a cherished family member, leaving everyone in awe. Such moments in Grad school are rare and unforgettable.😊

We are excited to announce that two University of Chicago Chemistry Department undergraduates have received 2024 Goldwater Scholarships.

Congratulations to Sarah Kress and Joshua Pixley!

Do you like lipidation? How about small GTPases? What about BOTH?? And featuring Carol Williams and Juan S. Bonifacino along with Jennifer Greaves, bryan dickinson, Ed Tate, Jeremy Baskin, Greg Fairn, Will Fuller, Dr. Shaun Sanders, Luke Chamberlain, Jimmy Hougland, and many others! Info below!

📢On April 23, Hirohide Saito, 齊藤博英 and I will organize 'Pre-ISBC2024 Workshop on Synthetic Cell Biology' at Kyoto University iPS細胞研究所. Check out the exciting lineup of invited speakers: Jeremy Baskin, bryan dickinson, Suess Lab, & Peng Zou. No registration needed. Come and join us!!😃

Check out our recent review on the synthetic biology of RNA-targeting for therapeutics, in honor of my incredible The University of Chicago UChicago Chemistry colleague, Chuan He’s 2023 Wolf Prize onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

With so many excellent publications by our faculty this week, we'd like to provide a round-up:

This week the Chuan He Group introduced what is sure to be a game changer.

Meet 'USB-seq', a revolutionary new method for rapid and accurate epigenetic testing.

Today we report in Nature Biotechnology 'An adenine base editor variant expands context compatibility'. Existing ABEs function most effectively on TA. Here we develop TadA8r, a new TadA variant that extends potent deoxyadenosine deamination to GA and AA. 1/n nature.com/articles/s4158…

My lab's 2nd paper is out in Nature Catalysis!

What is happening at the electrified interface during electroorganic reactions? Here is our first taste of revealing how it's organized to enable fragment-based electrophile coupling!

The Dickinson Lab has just published a 'foundational paper' 'focused on novel proximity chemistry for mapping biomolecule organization/interactions' in ChemRxiv.

Just as exceptional is this thread by bryan dickinson detailing how their work was shaped & interacts with the field.
