Excited to share our work identifying IFITM proteins as key for cellular uptake of large drugs that break standard drug design rules! Hope it leads to new drug designs! This was a wonderful collaboration with @kevansf led by Kevin Lou @ucsf @arcinstitute

We are delighted to congratulate our marvelous alumna @CarolynBertozzi for being awarded the @NobelPrize in Chemistry today with Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless "for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry!!!!!"
Carolyn Bertozzi – awarded the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry – has taken click chemistry to a new dimension and started utilising it in living organisms. Her bioorthogonal reactions take place without disrupting the normal chemistry of the cell.

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 https://t.co/TfDaZ3irEB

I firmly believe small molecules inside us connect us in ways that we don’t understand. Excited to pursue this as faculty @StanfordBiochem @DevBioStanford. Learning from courageous mentors in my bio & #HGFstrong @channyskye @dr_ohsopretty @CommOfScholars #BlackinChemRollCall

Jumping around the mutation alphabet to hit cancer! Our new work covalent targeting of KRAS G12S is online: https://t.co/GWj1Wzcugq Interested in more? The Zhang lab ( https://t.co/Fm4hoDMWpP) at @UCBerkeley is recruiting:)

The Zhang lab uses chemical synthesis to enable the study and therapeutic modulation of disease-specific targets or processes, with a particular focus on those involved in immune signaling.
#G12S The Next #KRAS oncogene targeted by covalent chemistry by @bignerdzzy who just started his lab @UCB_Chemistry ( https://t.co/CCDN3ymcJG). Next up G12R. https://t.co/WSUPzy0JxE.

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
