Researchers in marine chemist Bradley Moore’s lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography are exploring seaweed genome diversity in a first-of-its-kind project that could have important applications in fields such as manufacturing and medicine. ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/feature/reveal…

Great seeing everyone in person at yesterday's 16th #ScrippsPierSwim MooreLabSIO GerwickLab Pieter Dorrestein Jack A Gilbert (he/him/his) @lab_lyons Amro Hamdoun Eric Allen, Bill Fenical & Todd Michael labs. We all needed that!🌊

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

The neurotoxin domoic acid was first isolated over 60 years ago from seaweed. Using genomics, phylogenetics, and enzymology, we uncover this Rad biosynthetic gene cluster and propose movent of the cluster to other algae via HGT. Taylor Steele Bradley Moore pnas.org/content/119/6/…

Many #naturalproduct compounds like #cannabinoids are made from ortho-quinine methides. Trevor Purdy April Lukowski review the ways enzymes construct this versatile and reactive biosynthetic intermediate pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Ten years in the making to demystify how the #glioblastoma drug candidate marizomib is made by marine bacteria. Congrats to Kate Bauman Vikram Shende TAMGulderLab_TechBioDD Daniel Romo Daniela Barretto Barbosa Trivella Scripps Institution of Oceanography nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to be back at the first post-COVID NPAG, featuring three exciting talks about terpene biosynthesis featuring Taylor Steele Immo Burkhardt and Kayla Wilson of MooreLabSIO

Getting to meet one of my heroes in person was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Jessica Meir we are so proud of you!!

Kate Bauman researched marine microbial natural products at Scripps w/ MooreLabSIO, earning a PhD in #MarineBiology. She was awarded the Frieman Prize for her work detailing how a marine bacterium makes an anti-cancer molecule. 🌟 Now, Kate is headed to Stanford University as a postdoc!

Vanadium-dependent haloperoxidase enzymes have always fascinated us MooreLabSIO for their biosynthetic dexterity. We're delighted to finally share some beautiful structures in Biochemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…

So proud of Kayla Wilson and the whole team! Amazing to see this work out in the world and share an interesting story centered around biosynthesis in eukaryotes.

Similarly, I will be graduating in June after defending my PhD and will be looking for industry positions in San Diego! I am a protein biochemist and molecular biologist w/ strong skills in sequencing, bioinformatics, and high-performance computing. Let's connect!

Who at the university made a difference in your life? For Liana Alves, it was Assistant Professor Alina Schimpf, "Alina Schimpf gave me the support to grow. It was okay to make mistakes, ask questions and give bizarre and strange ideas." today.ucsd.edu/story/i-am-for…

What an amazing day! I am so grateful for Bradley Moore and the whole MooreLabSIO, cheers to a new amazing chapter!

New pub led by Taylor Steele and Immo Burkhardt on discovery of biosyn enzymes from seaweed at Laura Kiessling. Great collaboration with genomics experts Malia Moore, Michael lab and Joint Genome Institute 🧬. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
