To round out our work on these photomediated ring contractions of saturated heterocycles, I'm excited to share this collaborative story about uncovering interesting enantioselectivity trends in this system, out now in @J_A_C_S!.
Congrats to @SojungKim20, our collaborator Jordan(@Sigman_Lab), our collaborators from Merck and former group members Justin & Yasuki on the publication of our work on understanding the enantioselectivity of our photomediated ring contraction in @J_A_C_S!.

Exciting to see this chemistry finally out! @B_randonwright was an excellent mentor when I briefly joined him on this project as a UC Berkeley Amgen scholar summer undergrad back in 2019 🎉 congrats to the whole team.
The final chapter of my PhD with @SarpongGroup at @UCB_Chemistry is published! Check out our full story of how we approached the synthesis of Daphniphyllum alkaloids inspired by molecular complexity scoring, out now in @J_A_C_S 🎉

We miss you (and your bagels) already 😭! 837 isn’t the same without you. Best of luck starting your PhD soon!.
back home after an incredible 6 month stay in the @SarpongGroup. I had lots of fun doing chemistry. big shoutout to my wonderful mentor and friend @SojungKim20 and all the other friends i got to meet during this time. i will miss you all.
