A new virus strain, carried by pigs, with pandemic potential- vigilant monitoring can make all the difference. Hopefully, we’re all better prepared! pnas.org/content/early/…

We hosted our second webinar with Dr. Anisa Chorwadwala, assistant professor at IISER Pune! Excited to be championing the journeys of inspiring women in STEM.

Third webinar on ‘Science Careers by Science Communicators’ coming up by WoMentor! Amazing speakers, Subhra Priyadarshini and Dr. Sarah Iqbal, lined up to diversify our interests and pursuits🥰

WoMentor joins Twitter - stay tuned for inspiring content🌸

A few highlights from our WoMentor Connect webinars - a platform to connect young students with professionals in the field!

SP हाथरस,वर्दी वाले मालिकों, तुम्हारी पहरेदारी में बेटी की चिता जली है।अंतिम संस्कार के बिना।ये पाप तुमपर है।तुम्हारा क़ानून,तुम्हारा थाना,तुमने सच को झूठ,झूठ को सच बनाया।टूटी गर्दन,आँखों से बहता खून,कटी ज़बान नकारते रहे,गैंगरेप पर सवाल उठाए।अपनी बेटी से नज़र मिला पाओगे?लानत है।

Thank you, Mike! A real privilege to work with you & Tom Milne on establishing, hopefully, a milestone in treating leukaemia! Oxford Chemistry RDM Oxford Chemistry in Cells is an incredible opportunity. Hope to drive meaningful impact in the biomedical sciences with my chemistry!

Really cool design: sending ASO to nucleus via conjugating JQ1.

Fascinating work showing that the covalent addition of a nuclear importing compound, JQ1, to therapeutic oligonucleotides enhances their activities by enhancing nuclear penetration.

Had an amazing time at PSL ChemBio symposium! Institut Curie CNRS 🌍 A great line up of speakers & stellar science 🧬🧪 A big thank you to the organisers & everyone who stopped by my poster! Honoured to receive a poster prize Royal Society of Chemistry RSC Chemical Biology! Congrats to all winners!

We have engineered lysosomal trafficking-ASOs (LyTONs)! Novel mechanism of gene knockdown🧬 LyTONs don’t need RNase H recruitment — work as well/better than state-of-the-art gapmers! #RNAtherapeutics Michael Booth Tom Milne Chemistry in Cells Oxford Chemistry MRC WIMM

We’ve integrated DNA nanotech into targeted protein degradation! Our oligoPROTACs act like small mol PROTACs but can be turned “OFF” — exciting alternative to pro-drug based activation for reducing toxicity! Michael Booth Tom Milne Chemistry in Cells Oxford Chemistry MRC WIMM
