Congratulations Sarafan ChEM-H CBI student/alumnus Payton Weidenbacher, Ph.D. on this exciting publication Nature Chemical Biology !

Congratulations!! Payton et al 化腐朽为神奇

Super cool creative approach to target cell surface proteins for degradation! Congrats to the team!

The complexity and mystery still surrounding fertilization is astounding. This great paper from Steven and crew help to demystify the interaction slightly by solving the structure and discussing the implications of the human TMEM95 protein! Super cool!

BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”

Just in! First selfie from our 2022 #NobelPrize laureate in chemistry Carolyn Bertozzi. Congratulations!

Amazing! Carolyn Bertozzi, so well-deserved! Truly an inspirational and innovative scientist!

Excited to share this work with rockstar MD/PhD student Theodora! Our study began so we could better characterize one HIV-1 inhibitor, but it led us to explore how neutralization tiers impact inhibitors and Abs with diverse epitopes. A 🧵... 1/x

Super interesting/simple approach to improving adjuvant binding by my former labmate Duo Xu. He’s a sharp, thorough scientist and a kind, generous colleague. Keep an 👀 out for his next steps!!

Proud of my role in Duo Xu’s amazing work to flip influenza hemagglutinin (HA) on its “head”. This novel immunofocusing method occludes the HA head by adhering it to alum adjuvant while exposing the conserved HA stem, made possible with some ingenious antigen engineering!

Endless waves of innovation emanate from Peter Kim’s lab ⁦Sarafan ChEM-H⁩! In this preprint they show insertion of oligoD into viral protein antigens orients them on alum and sculpts the antibody response, creating more effective vaccines biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In some new work, we describe how generative machine learning enables the modular design of complex proteins controlled by a high-level programming language for protein design 📄Link to paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/N)

I'm honored to receive the 2023 NAS Award in Molecular Biology. Many thanks to all of my trainees, collaborators, and mentors over the years!

Have you ever done an “omic” (proteomic/transcriptomic/etc) experiment and wondered why we adjust p-values? Or how it works? Are you annoyed that you lose hits and want to avoid this? Want a 🔥 new R pkg for adjusting w/sensitivity? This paper is for YOU! pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…

Congratulations Chuan, whose work on RNA modifications and chemical biology platform technologies have advanced our understanding of RNA regulation and uncovered new drug targets

It's an incredible day for structure-based vaccine design, and I'm thrilled to see our prefusion RSV F antigen get approved as the first RSV vaccine. Still more work to do to reduce the RSV disease burden, but this will help! Congrats Barney Graham, MD, PhD! cnn.com/2023/05/03/hea…
