The Britton Group is looking for new Postdoctoral Researchers! Come join our team at @SFU to get involved in the excited chemistry we do. Interested applicants please contact Dr. Britton (details here brittonsfu.com/contact/). Hope to hear from you soon! #chemtwitter #chemjobs
For #GBW2024, let's throw back to an exciting breakthrough by @Vocadlogroup & @BrittonLab! Their sugar-blocking tech for developing therapeutic antibodies to target cancer is being commercialized by GlycoNet-supported startup Carbaform. Read more: ow.ly/Uxih50Ttyp8
Congratulations to Suping for recently successfully defending his masters thesis! During his time in the Britton lab, Suping developed some elegant chemistry towards the synthesis of some complex nucleoside analogues. We're very proud of you Suping! #chemtwitter #mastersdefense
Check out our latest publication in collaboration with @BCCancer featured in JACS!!! Big congratulations to Dr. Daniel Driedger as this was a substantial portion of his PhD thesis! This synthesis of Eleutherobin has been a long time coming (> a decade)!!! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
We enjoyed an amazing BBQ outing yesterday at Strathcona Lookout Park in Deep Cove! The day was filled with fun on the water in paddle boards and canoes (thanks Rob!) along side some competitive spike ball games in the park :) #chemtwitter #teambonding
Congratulations to Daniel and Darryl for an excellent publication in @ChemicalScience !!! Showcasing an exhaustive and impressive chemical library of 170 polypeptide-like macrolides ... well done! #chemtwitter pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Congratulations to Dr. @GarrettMuir (and other Britton lab co-authors) for this interesting investigation of Grignard reactions to C4'-modified nucleoside analogues in collaboration with @Merck , @DrLCsquare , and @asymtmm ... Excellent work everyone! nature.com/articles/s4146…
Britton Lab Christmas Dinner 2024 complete with delicious food from @CRAFTbeermarket and a fun Pirate Santa game🎁🎅🏼 with plenty of 'gift-stealing' (mainly the special cereal and lotto tickets). Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our lab to you and yours! #chemtwittter
Fresh article out now in @ChemicalScience !!! Well done to the team for the hard work put towards this exciting project! Yet another example of how ɑFAR aldol products are excellent and diversifiable precursors towards nucleoside analogues. #chemtwitter pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Congratulations to Rob for this exciting achievement and recognition! #chemtwitter
The Bernard Belleau Award is presented to a scientist who has made a distinguished contribution to medicinal chemistry through research involving biochemical or organic chemical mechanisms. Congrats @brittonlab of @SFU on being the recipient of this award. buff.ly/3V2U1N5
We recently had a celebration for Simha, a former post-doc in the lab who secured a position at @GileadSciences !!! Thank you Simha for being an excellent leader in the group and an exemplary chemist and experimentalist. All the best in your future endeavours! #chemtwitter
A delicious welcome lunch at SFU's dining commons (HQ) for new graduate students Megan, Breanna, and Olises and new post-doc Mamda. #chemtwitter
Congratulations to our very own Dr. @GarrettMuir for his now published work on the synthesis of the phormidolide A macrocycle, recently out in @JOC_OL !! #chemtwitter
Now out in @JOC_OL, we report the synthesis + stereochemical confirmation of the phormidolide A macrocycle. This is a true collaborative venture with the @BrittonLab that has taken many twists and turns (1/2) @SFUChemistry @ChemCambridge @chemistryatuvic pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Guillermo presented his work on the formal synthesis of eribulin at the Mexican Academy of Organic Chemistry annual conference ( @AMQO_mexico ) recently! He also did a TV interview to share what a Chemistry PhD does for a living... Way to represent the group well! #chemtwitter
Some lab members ditched the lab to enjoy a beautiful day on Bowen Island yesterday! A perfect way to end off the week ☀️ #chemistswhohike #chemtwitter
GlycoNet investigators @VocadloGroup and @BrittonLab at @SFU have created a sugar-blocking technology that “supercharges” antibodies to target cancer more effectively. Read more: bit.ly/4cNlHMS #glycotime #glycomics #research #science @SFUresearch @mbbsfu
Check out our latest publication and great collaboration with the @VocadloGroup! Congrats Simha, Anthony, Matt, Yang and all others on a great story about the preparation and use of a fucose mimetic to potentially block cellular fucosylation! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… #chemtwitter
Great talks this morning at #FACS2024 by @BrittonLab @SFU on nucleotides, Estelle Metay @ICBMSLyon on sustainable additives & Juliette Martin @seqens_group about green manufacturing of API
Congratulations @GarrettMuir for successfully defending your PhD #thesis! It was a great presentation and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours! #chemtwitter #thesisdefense #PhDone
