Suertides are antibacterial cyclic hexapeptides produced by an Amycolatopsis sp. found in riverbank soil collected near El Pont de Suert, Spain. With Heather Lacey, Peter Rutledge, Mark Fisher and "Team MST"! @MQNatSci Sydney Chemistry Nature Portfolio nature.com/articles/s4142…


Huge congratulations to Heng Chooi Molecular Sci-UWA on your promotion to Associate Professor! Incredibly well deserved! It has been an absolute blast collaborating with you and your amazing team over the past few years and I can't wait to see what you will achieve in the future! 🎉🍾

We also have an industry-linked project on Genome Mining of Australian #fungi 🍄 for Drug Discovery in collaboration with MST & Andrew Piggott Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences with potential co-funded PhD s/ship Molecular Sci-UWA. International applications before 31 Aug. DM if interested. #SynBio #Chem

So excited to share the wonderful news that our luteodienoside A paper was accepted to Chemical Science doi.org/10.1039/D3SC05…. I would like to thank my supervisor Heng Chooi Molecular Sci-UWA and our fantastic collaborators @AndrewPiggott Hang Li Zhuo (Alex) Shang and Ernest Lacey

Thrilled to announce our manuscript about the biosynthesis of the sterol O-acyltransferase inhibitor helvamide has been published online J Org Chem/Org Lett . Enjoyful collaboration with Heng Chooi Molecular Sci-UWA Andrew Piggott and Microbial Screening Technologies. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Excited to share our recent work, "Self-Resistance Gene-Guided Discovery of the Molecular Basis for Biosynthesis of the Fatty Acid Synthase Inhibitor Cerulenin", is now published in Angewandte Chemie! doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

By fantastic collaboration with Heng Chooi Andrew Piggott Amr Arishi Stephen Moggach @clmgilchrist Dr Ernest Lacey at Molecular Sci-UWA Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences and MST, we uncovered the decades-old biosynthetic mystery of fatty acid synthase inhibitor cerulenin using a self-resistance gene-guided approach.
