We show the development of an optimized α/β-peptide that works in synergy with small distributive molecules like TWEEN20 and SPD304 to inhibit the TNFα/TNFR interaction. Great working with James W. Checco and the rest of team Gellman Lab! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Awesome group effort by our lab to develop VH-multimers that neutralize SARS-CoV-2! Also special #SO to Christina Higgins for being our go-to virologist and giving us some amazing advice and resources! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Incredible work led by @helloanum and Jeff_Glasgow using a combination of computational design and yeast display to engineer affinity-matured ACE2 variants to Spike-RBD that neutralize SARS-CoV-2. Honored to be part of this awesome team! pnas.org/content/early/…

Writing the last paragraphs of last paper from grad school tonight. Yes, I graduated 9 months ago. Yes, I have another full time job. BUT this collab with Nick Rettko is so cool it’s worth it!!

I will tweet more about this tomorrow, but here lies my PhD pride and joy 💞

My first FIRST author paper is finally out! I made antibodies and CARs against p16 MHC-peptide complexes, which could be exciting targets in the anti-aging field. We also show some selection strategies to get antibodies against MHC-peptide complexes. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

So excited this work is finally out! And what a bonus it was to get to collaborate with Lauren Stopfer, PhD!

Judy was not only a visionary, but also incredibly generous with her time and knowledge towards students such as myself. The senescence field and academia as a whole will miss her immensely.
