Asst. Professor @bcmhouston. Previously Stanford and UW–Madison. We use molecules and genomes to understand repetitive DNA sequences. #FirstGenAcademic
I am delighted to announce that I recently joined the Department of Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine. We investigate the functional role of repetitive DNA with a focus on translating discoveries to improve human health. Interested in joining and can't…
I had such a powerful experience at BCM SKY Retreat this weekend led by @grahamserwin and met so many amazing people! It was a thought-provoking and reflective weekend with lessons that I will carry with me! What a privilege to partake in such a transformative experience! 🥰

We've designed an RNA-targeted small molecule that reduces toxic 4R tau protein linked to FTDP-17. This orally bioavailable and brain-penetrant compound shows promise in mitigating cellular pathologies and behavioral phenotypes in mouse models. Link here biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Noah built a platform to discover covalent small molecules that react with RNA. Many protein-reactive warheads also react with RNA. We then Converted a DNA binder into a rna covalent compound. Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #RNA #CovalentDrugs #ChemicalBiology #DrugDiscovery
Dale is FABULOUS. This is very well deserved!
Congrats to Prof. Dale Boger (@BogerLab), who was awarded the 2025 Chemical Pioneer Award for his seminal work in natural product synthesis and molecular design. With 625+ papers and 300+ trainees, his research has shaped modern medicinal chemistry. More: ow.ly/Van750VAikE
