I’m thrilled to share that I will be joining Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis as Group Leader (Head of Natural Products Research Group). Opening for: Lab Technician, see below. Postdocs, coming soon.

We are hiring two Postdocs to work on the discovery of microbial natural products from the Baltic area. Natural Products (osi.lv/en/vacancies/r…) Microbiology/Bioinformatics (osi.lv/en/vacancies/r…)

I am happy to be involved in the first review paper from Brandon Morinaka Lab | Radical SAM enzymes | Nat. Prod. Rep. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We have opening for one PhD position (3 years) to work on microbial natural products from the Baltic area. Link: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/214833

Our cover page was selected and the idea of this artwork was came from Brandon Morinaka.

Happy to serve as the external examiner for Giang Nam Pham who successfully defended his PhD thesis with the impressive discoveries in marine natural products.

We are organizing a workshop next month with four Invited Speakers, Tilmann Weber, Marnix H. Medema, Lena Barra, and Aleks Nivina.

We studied rSAM, HtkB catalyze a His-to-Lys crosslink, and revealed conserved active site residues that influence substrate specificity. Brandon Morinaka Lab | RSC Chem Biol doi.org/10.1039/D4CB00…

We studied biosynthetic origin of doubly homologated tyrosine, which found in the microginin and anabaenopeptin isolated from cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa NIES-4285 | J. Nat. Prod. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
