Our paper on 'Deprotectases' has been published as part of the Faraday Discussions collection on biocatalysis. A team effort, including 9 undergraduates! @EdinburghChem Well done to everyone involved. #FDbiocatalysis pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We had a double viva celebration last week - Big congratulations to Kimberley and Mara for passing their PhD vivas! 🥳 Best of luck with your new jobs! Thanks to the examiners, Nick, Sabine, Amanda and Jo.

Lisa attended Intensifying Biocatalytic Processes in Aarhus, Denmark where she won a prize for her talk! See more at the article linked! Congrats 🤩 @LisaKennedy00

A lovely article on Mariyah’s PhD journey ☺️ great job!

New Communication out NOW from @CampopianoGroup, @ArtOxiZymes, @jarvis_lab, @EdinburghChem #openaccess 'Installation of an organocatalyst into a protein scaffold creates an artificial Stetterase' buff.ly/4i6EDsY

Congrats to Alice on publishing her PhD work in Chem Comm. The first example of a NHC-modified protein displaying Stetterase activity! Great work. @ArtOxiZymes @EdinburghChem pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Michael’s work has just been published in ACS Catalysis - “Repurposing a Fully Reducing Polyketide Synthase towards 2-Methyl Guerbet-like Lipids” A great piece of work, well done Michael and all involved! Check it out: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

A big welcome to the newest members of the Campopiano group! 1st year PhD students Daniel, Kai & Ben and MRes student Jonathan. @KaiZhou57463112 @JonathanNakhleh @DanielJoynt

Michael attended the @BiochemSoc conference on Protein Dynamics and Transient Interactions this week. He picked up a prize for his fantastic oral presentation, congrats! @obligatoryMH Forgot to get a picture there so a train selfie will do! 🚂

Check out this article posted on the School of Chemistry website acknowledging the work of our PhD and undergrad students! @EdinburghChem “This is a breakthrough paper and a great example of what our students can achieve in the lab.” chem.ed.ac.uk/school-chemist…

Congratulations to Dr. Cowan and Dr. MacAulay who graduated yesterday! @RhonaCowan @EdinburghChem

📢 Last few days to apply for our PDRAs in biochemistry @EdinburghChem @CampopianoGroup @jarvis_lab jobs.ac.uk/job/DHQ385/pos…

We thoroughly enjoyed the Faraday Discussion on biocatalysis last week in London. Dom and Lisa presented work on ‘Deprotectase’ biocatalysts which sparked some interesting discussions! Thanks to the organisers for a great conference. #FDbiocatalysis @Faraday_D @LisaKennedy00

Congratulations @LisaKennedy00!
