Such a great project, again made possible by a great collaboration! Lots of thanks to the Weiss Lab and my labmate @kevinjIou and mentor @kevansf! @UCB_Chemistry @UCSFCancer @DamonRunyon.
Two drugs are better than one—blocking drug action in the periphery while maintaining CNS pharmacology (mTOR, Lrrk2 and Her2). #Glioblastoma @bignerdzzy and @UCSFCancer @HHMINEWS @UCB_Chemistry @MichaelJFoxOrg

Pin an inhibitor to Ras, this time at the mutant arginine! So great to make this happen with Johannes Morstein @AndrewEcker8 Keelan Guiley @kevansf @UCSFCancer @UCB_Chemistry @DamonRunyon

Jumping around the mutation alphabet to hit cancer! Our new work covalent targeting of KRAS G12S is online: Interested in more? The Zhang lab ( at @UCBerkeley is recruiting:).
#G12S The Next #KRAS oncogene targeted by covalent chemistry by @bignerdzzy who just started his lab @UCB_Chemistry (. Next up G12R. @UCSFCancer @HHMINEWS @UCSF

Another thought: most new PIs have mentored people in the past. If you are not sure, reach out to their previous mentees/coworkers!.

I concur. I confirm that new PIs will do everything to make their mentees successful! I contend that other hashtags are also cool. I also confess that I’m a new PI @UCB_Chemistry and we are recruiting
@OdedRechavi Great advice that worked well for me. Joining the brand new lab of Mark Bednarski (may he RIP) @UCB_Chemistry taught me how to start a research program from the ground floor, how to strategize and pivot when things go sideways, and fostered a lifelong fascination with #glycotime.
