Interested in natural product synthesis, isolation and structure determination? We're HIRING! BrisSynBio PDRA opening in the Willis Research Group in collaboration with Prof. Paul Race, [email protected] and industrial collaborators. Closing Date: 25th Aug. jobs.ac.uk/job/CID457/res…

Some pics from our first group outing of the academic year at Pizza on the Park! #LighteningLunch #tablefootball #quitealotoffun

Day 15 of the #WillisAdventCalendar sees this trio - @JamesIBowen, Andrew Devine and Sbu Mbatha (she/her) presenting their research at #ISySyCat. Great posters, flash presentations and oral presentations done by all! #obrigado

For day 20 of the #WillisAdventCalendar we congratulate Andrew Devine on a great year! He won prizes for his posters on abyssomicin biosynthesis at @RSC_CBBG forum, RSC Directing Biosynthesis, SWBio DTP annual conference and the Royal Society of Chemistry Organic Division Poster Symposium🎉

Our first publication of 2022 is now live! Check out @JamesIBowen's and Luoyi's review on selective cyclisations of 4,5-epoxyalcohols, a powerful synthetic and biosynthetic transformation. #WeLoveTHPs pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Great conference today in York, enjoyed hearing about a wide range of excellent chemical biology projects and grateful for the opportunity to present my work on abyssomicin C biosynthesis!

Thoroughly enjoyed presenting my poster on abyssomicin biosynthesis at #Tetrahedron22 yesterday and looking forward to an exciting conference in a great city #TetSymp #Lisboa

Very happy to share our work on the final stages of abyssomicin C biosynthesis which is online now in Angewandte Chemie! Willis Research Group onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Merry Christmas from the Willis Group! 🎅

Pleased to say I passed my PhD viva last week! Thanks to Clayden Group and Turner Biocatalysis for a great discussion on the day

This week I have had the fantastic experience of attending the 23rd International Conference on Cytochrome P450 in the amazing setting of Shizuoka, Japan. As part of the meeting, I delivered a talk on our work on the role of the P450 AbyV in abyssomicin C biosynthesis. #ICCP450

We are delighted to present our collaborative investigation of the divergent selectivity of the Diels-Alderases AbyU and AbmU, and their applicability in diastereo- and enantiocontrolled synthesis in our latest work. Have a read in Chemical Science ! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
