Our new preprint is out! We show how Au(III) organometallic chemistry platform can facilitate the formation of hybrid peptide tricycles, which are normally challenging structures to access. An Organometallic Chemistry Approach to Peptide Tricycles | ChemRxiv -

Our latest preprint ChemRxiv introduces a method for the Photocatalytic Late-Stage Decarboxylative Functionalization of Bioactive, Naturally Occurring, and Fatty Acids via gem-Borylsilyl Alkene. Congrats to Nadim Eghbarieh 🏆 chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Despite all the sad moments back home, it was a great pleasure to receive the 2025 Vincent du Vigneaud Award during the APS meeting held in beautiful San Diego. Thank you to all the friends, colleagues, and past and present lab members who have been part of my scientific journey.

New preprint alert! We developed a covalent small molecule that targets guanines in structured RNAs, guided by the FMN riboswitch structure. In collaboration with Rob Batey biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #RNA #DrugDiscovery #ChemicalBiology
