Really happy to share that our lab's 5-year project on human microbiome metabolites has just been published in @J_A_C_S! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Our recent work on a blood bacterium metabolites was published in J. Nat. Prod. and highlighted in ACS News!
'Discovery and Biosynthesis of Indole-Functionalized Metabolites from Paracoccus sanguinis and Their Anti-Skin Aging Activity' in Journal of Natural Products featured as an ACS Science Release. Read the release: go.acs.org/cKb Read the article: go.acs.org/cKa

Was so great to see you again and your lab members. Also enjoyed talking about bile acid metabolism. I think people will be very excited to see how much they are metabolized by microbes.
After the SIMB NP meeting ended, I, my lab postdoc @eunJin_p_p, my colleague @ChungSubKim, and two PhD students from SNU visited the Dorrestein lab and had a very nice scientific discussion. Thank you @Pdorrestein1 and @mohantyipsita92! So fun to be back in the lab.
What is happening? HandMol is happening! Coming soon, multiuser, immersive, interactive simulations.
Creating biosynthetic models for publications, reviews, talks and lectures can be time-consuming and prone to errors! RAIChU will help you automate this process, speed things up and prevent oversights! jcheminf.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
Our lab attended the #ICNPR2024 conference from July 13th to 17th, 2024, in Krakow, Poland. It was a great opportunity to give a talk and to meet many natural product researchers!




As the last speaker of the KSP session or #ICNPR2024, @ChungSubKim is presenting recent results of gut microbiota-derived natural product discovery in his lab!
We found structural diversification of pyrazinone metabolites via spontaneous oxa-Michael reaction. It was a great collaboration with @kyobinkang published in Journal of Natural Products! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
We characterized chemical interactions between clinical drugs and the oral bacterium, Corynebacterium matruchotii, via Bioactivity-HiTES. It was published in ACS Chemical Biology pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
High-Throughput Identification of Crystalline Natural Products from Crude Extracts Enabled by Microarray Technology and microED NEW #ASAP by @TheNelsonLab, @yitang_ucla, @QuaveEthnobot, Julia Kubanek & co-workers Read it here: go.acs.org/7Gk
It was a great time to give a talk and have fun with Profs. Jörn Piel (@piel_lab), Toshiyuki Wakimoto, Ikuro Abe, Chien-Ming Hsieh, and many other people at the 143rd Annual Meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan at Sapporo!

We discovered new imidazolium antibiotics from Bacillus licheniformis! Bacillimidazole G showed potent antibacterial activity against MRSA and lowered MICs of colistin on A. baumanii and E. coli. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Pumped to get this paper out into the world in @JOC_OL I’m excited for everyone to see what we’ve been working on in the MacMillan lab. Shoutout to #jocelyndoesnthaveatwitter for taking me under her wing. Stay tuned for more fun with boron NMR pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
