Excited to celebrate receiving a NIH NoA today with this wonderful group of trainees! Can’t wait for all the wonderful science they will produce in the coming years.

Lots of great science being presented at the ASP meeting by Virginia Tech Chemistry researchers in the Mevers lab and Group Lowell. @CarlaMenegatti gave a wonderful talk! Deeya Soin, Lois, Paige, Caitlin, Zach, and Logan are presenting posters today! pharmacognosy.us

Emily Mevers Mevers Lab giving a great talk on one of my favorite topics, marine microbial chemical ecology 😀. Such a cool project!

Emily Mevers (Mevers Lab), assistant professor of chemistry with Virginia Tech Science, received a five-year, $1.9 million grant from NIH that aims to leverage the microbiomes of marine egg masses for the development of next-generation antibiotics to treat emerging pathogens. (1/3)

Our lab is excited to share a preprint on localizing the site of structural modifications for small molecules using ModiFinder. For those using Molecular Networking, we hope this will speed up the process of structural elucidation when propagating from known compounds.

Join us to try out the online version of IDBac! If you are doing bacterial analysis with MALDI, come check it out with Nyssa Krull . We will be hosting an interactive online workshop on August 14th at 10:00am CST (via Zoom). Sign up here: forms.gle/xZE6XWj68XU1eW…

Congrats to my first undergrad mentee at UIC, Natalie Youngji Oh on winning the Best Poster award! So proud of your hard work and dedication. 🎉 #ProudMentor #SURF BT Murphy Lab

New work from our lab: Jin Yi (Jeanie) Tan leads a partnership with middle school students from the Boys & Girls Club Chicago @BGCChi to discover new bioactive natural products. High-end NP discovery and outreach can coexist! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
