Marzieh Ahangarpour is on the record with her N-vinyl acrylamides! Thiol-thiol bioconjugation is under investigation with these great electrophiles! MarziehAhangarpour Brimble Lab Uni of Auckland #AusPeptides2023

Had an amazing experience presenting my poster at the 13th International Peptide Symposium and excited to have won the Poster Award. AusPeptide #AusPeptide2023

This year GCL Summit 23 will be held at the Otago School of Medicine, Otautahi Christchurch. The Conference will continue the resounding success of past conferences, bringing together gynae cancer specialists from all over the globe. #oncology #gynae #clinicaltrials #aotearoa

Excited to share that I've received the prestigious Sir Charles Hercus Health Research Fellowship! Grateful for this incredible opportunity, enabling us to continue our work in the field of antibody–drug conjugates for cancer therapy.

Join one of our SIGs, Gynae Cancer League, as they hold their Annual summit tomorrow, 23rd November! Contact Makhdoom Sarwar (Mak) for more information or email him 👉[email protected]

Happy 🎂🎂🎂 Birthday Gynae Cancer League!!!! Makhdoom Sarwar (Mak) the cake was👌

GCL Summit for all actuaries of the gynaecological cancer clinical research & management took place successfully this week. It was a real privilege to co-chair the occasion & host distinguished leaders in gynaecological oncology. #Oncology #aotearoa #ClinicalTrials #gynae

📢 Issue 46 is online now! Check out work from Margaret Brimble, @Iman_Kavianinia & co on the use of a photoinitiated thiol–ene “click” reaction for the synthesis of S-lipidated collagen model peptide amphiphiles, as seen on our front cover👇 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… 📍 University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau

Nice to see CJ Aguilar’s hard work published with a front cover. This is CJ’s first paper- more to come!

Thanks for supporting kiwi science. Having the NZ High Commissioner there was the highlight of the evening. #chemistry University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau Maurice Wilkins Centre
