A new system for facile site-directed mutagenesis of large, cloned biosynthetic gene cluster combining oligo recombineering and CRISPR/Cas9 targeting. We hope it's helpful. Superb final thesis paper by Jia Jia Zhang! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…


I’m looking forward to sharing some of our work on developing medicine from the sea. Who’s ready to talk about seaweed, DNA and drug discovery? Thanks Kate Furby, PhD and Scripps Institution of Oceanography for creating #wavelengths

Happy to share how the #cyanotoxin aetokthonotoxin is made by toxic freshwater Cyanobacteria. Amazing enzyme work by Sanjoy Adak April Lukowski Rebecca Schafer in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

It was an honor to work on such an iconic molecule with such an amazing team! So excited to see our work out today in Nature Chemical Biology

New study alert! 📄 Out today in Nature Chemical Biology, Scripps marine chemical biologist Bradley Moore (Bradley Moore) and graduate student Kate Bauman (Kate Bauman) have discovered how a deep-sea marine bacterium makes an anti-cancer molecule. Learn more: scripps.ucsd.edu/news/scientist…


Great fun hanging with MooreLabSIO yesterday for a day at the beach in Laguna snorkeling in kelp forests amongst the seals and scoping out our next genomic project...


We just decoded how one of nature's most powerful #neurotoxin is made by freshwater cyanobacteria and show the power of genomics to reveal global hotspots of guanitoxin #cyanoHABs Stella Lima Shaun McKinnie Tim Fallon, PhD @[email protected] J. Am. Chem. Soc. Marli Fiore pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Thrilled to share our latest Nature Chemical Biology publication by Immo Burkhardt Tristan de Rond P.Y.-T. Chen that #octocorals biosynthesize powerful terpenoids and have been doing it longer than in plants. These primitive animals are remarkable medicinal chemists! nature.com/articles/s4158…

This was by far the coolest Friday morning meeting I’ve ever experienced! Thanks Jessica Meir and Scripps Institution of Oceanography !!

It has been such an honor to be a member of the MooreLabSIO !!!

Whenever a marine sponge makes a natural product it is really made by the microbiome, right? Turns out... Not always!! Super excited about our new paper by Kayla Wilson with Immo Burkhardt Taylor Steele Bradley Moore MooreLabSIO &others at Scripps Institution of Oceanography pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent immune response against a distant tumor. Y. Erin Chen, MD PhD led the charge w/ help from Djenet Bousbaine, Alessandra Veinbachs, Belkaid Lab. Science Magazine 1/26 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Check out our GntC enzymology story out today in ACS Catalysis! Happy first first to Jenny Cordoza - so beyond proud of you! And huge thanks to our amazing coauthors (P.Y.-T. Chen Stella Lima Marli Fiore Chekan Lab Bradley Moore and Linnea Blaustein)! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We went on the hunt for halogenases with new substrate preferences and found much more than we bargained for! In a collab between MooreLabSIO and GerwickLab, we characterized the first enzyme capable of generating haloalkynes. A 🧵: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Never underestimate a diiron enzyme. Congrats Sanjoy Adak for bringing the nitrile synthase AetD to life with @Drennan_lab, Maria-Eirini Pandelia, and Ken Houk labs. Published today Nature Chemistry nature.com/articles/s4155…

New work from Michael Fischbach lab! It was such an honor to work with the insanely talented Djenet Bousbaine and so fun to see it all come together here!

Standing-room only as Professor Bradley Moore (Bradley Moore) accepts UC San Diego’s prestigious Distinguished Research Award. The award is a sign of respect from his peers for his groundbreaking research mining the ocean for new medicines.
