You can never see too many sights like this - especially 12 hours after setting the trays up and beamtime in two weeks... collaboration with Tara Christie, Toby Passioura and Payne Research Group. COVID19 entry inhibitor? Sydney Uni Life&Env

RIP Chris Abell (1957-2020). Thank you for giving me the opportunity to come to Cambridge in 2003 and for being such a wonderful mentor and friend ever since. Devastated by this news and will miss you dearly. cam.ac.uk/research/news/…

Awesome example of rational engineering from native (and super potent!) sulfopeptide inhibitors... Very cool to watch this project evolving first-hand in the lab Congrats to good friends Stijn (now CARIM) and Emma (now Winssinger) who drove this from the start

2020 “what fresh hell is this” 2021 “what tinned hell is this”

Happy holidays #RealTimeChem

Happy #WomenInScienceDay from the women of Payne Research Group I’m so grateful to work alongside such strong, intelligent and funny women everyday! 👩🏽‍🔬🔬🧬 Zoom in to see me holding “something sciencey”(a test tube I grabbed from HPLC🧪) Sydney Chemistry Sydney Science University of Sydney

Our Centre Deputy Director is Prof. Richard Payne, from Payne Research Group Sydney Chemistry Sydney Science. He works on new methods to access complex peptides & proteins–from small antimicrobials to large modified proteins–he’s excited to see CIPPS become a world leader in this area

Great to see our new article on engineered trivalent sulfopeptide thrombin inhibitors featured on the cover of Angewandte Chemie today! You can check out the article at this link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… Sydney Science Sydney Chemistry CIPPS #cipps

Congrats Bhavesh Premdjee - absolutely stunning work!

Great to have an in-person graduation at #usyd for the first time in a while! Congrats to Charlotte, Wendy, Kayla, Angus and Luke Dowman on all of their hard work and for making us all proud!

Some really nice work by the folks over at @rubius_tx

Another great display (sorry!) of the power of RaPID for targeting diverse proteins/pathways. Great work Payne Research Group Nisha Duggan
