Thanks to @ProteomicsNews for the nice blog post about our new paper! proteomicsnews.blogspot.com/2024/10/gain-o…
Really fun mini-conference! hopefully the first of many
We are live at the inaugural SCI Advances in Mass Spectrometry Enabled Drug Discovery symposium! Experts are exploring the latest challenges and opportunities in drug development. Exciting discussions on the future of #MassSpectrometry and proteomics are underway! #proteomics
Thank you to #ICBS for recognizing our labs' contributions! Feeling very privileged to be part of this wonderful community.
Huge congratulations to our Young Chemical Biologist Awardees @JamesWChecco, @Keribackus and @DrMikeBooth, here with Zaneta Nikolovska-Coleska and Douglas Auld at #ISBC2024 @ChemBioSociety
We recently had our annual Backus lab pumpkin carving above Bomb Shelter! 🎃🧪 This year's was extra special as we celebrated 'NSP14-Day' in honor of our lab's recent exciting work published in Nature Chemical Biology. Thank you to @Keribackus for making this afternoon possible…
Thanks to @MichaelBollong @RosaCarolinae + @KaylaENutsch really nice summary of our work!
Check out our News&Views highlighting the work of @Keribackus in @nchembio : a new form of cellular stress and collateral degradation of proteins induced by electrophilic small molecule fragments. Work of @RosaCarolinae + @KaylaENutsch rdcu.be/dXZpw
Thrilled to share that, together with my colleagues @UoDCeTPD and collaborators @Boehringer, we report @ScienceMagazine the breakthrough discovery and characterization of a small-molecule that degrades most oncogenic mutant forms of KRAS. 1/8 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
The 4th Virtual @ChemBioTalks on September 24th are less then a week away. Do not miss out on attending this great event with a packed program of exciting lectures. You can register for free: web.cvent.com/event/7b3b6cdf…
A solo author from the University of Dundee put together today's awesome #ArticleinPress. Exploring the unmapped #cysteine redox proteoform landscape (James Cobley @JamesNCobley): ow.ly/e45R50TqfXw
