We even bumped into Matt Baker (and his dog)!
Kawamura Research and McAllister Lab chemical biologists had a team day in Durham combining dragon-boat racing, skills dev, and a surprise encounter with Matt Baker! Thanks Adventure Access & @Sage_NCL People Fund for helping make this day out possible. @ChemistryNCL @McAllisTom
Emma Wadforth gave an oral presentation of her PhD research at the RSC CBBG Postgraduate Symposium in Aberdeen, UK. A fantastic experience for showcasing Emma's work at the end of her #chemicalbiology #PhD journey, funded by the ERC, and for connecting with other researchers☀️ 🧪
In May, Newcastle's #ChemicalBiology Special Interest Group hosted a Symposium as part of the Inspiring #Women in Chemical Biology seminar series sponsored by the Biochemical Society, packed with talks and posters! 👩🔬💬💡

📢 For the first time in history, the Emil Fischer Award will be presented to two outstanding scientists! 🏆👏 At @Eurocarb22, the awardees are: 🔬 Sabine FLITSCH (University of Manchester, UK) 🔬 Carmen GALAN (University of Bristol, UK) Congratulations! 🎉
In our chem bio research groups, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and make a difference. Special thanks to all the women in our group and @KawamuraGroup for their contributions to the field of science! #IDWGS #womeninscience

Yesterday, after 34+ years of excellence in teaching & research, Dr Julian Knight gave his last organic chemistry lecture at Newcastle. Then this happened...😍 Thanks so much to Julian, and all the staff and students that turned out to wish him well in his retirement! #WeAreNCL
Very happy to announce our latest paper - out today in @ChemicalScience A very enjoyable collaboration with @r_armstrong_lab @ChemistryNCL on Stereoselective Synthesis of Atropisomeric Amides. @ChemistryatYork @LynamChemistry doi.org/10.1039/D4SC05…
Excited to share this recent joint project with @UnsworthChem in @ChemicalScience using acyl transfer to make C-N atropisomeric amides. @ChemistryatYork @ChemistryNCL @SciencesNCL pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We popped into #Spudfest along with some of the @KawamuraGroup for some potato wedges, potato soup and freebie potatoes grown on the @UniofNewcastle farms as part of ongoing research in @SciencesNCL


We are recruiting PhD students for Oct 25/26. We have 4 opportunities through the @MIBTP_BBSRC scheme with the amazing @CarlomagnoNMR @AgaGambus @DavideCalebiro @TimKnowles_Bham findaphd.com/phds/project/u… findaphd.com/phds/project/d… findaphd.com/phds/project/d… findaphd.com/phds/project/v…
Come and join us! We have a 3.5-year #fundedPhD studentship in organic synthesis available in my lab @ChemistryNCL on new catalytic methods to make axially and planar chiral molecules! #PhD findaphd.com/phds/project/p… Deadline = 6th Dec. Informal enquiries welcome. Please RT.
New fully funded PhD studentship focused on breast milk and infant microbiome at @UniofNewcastle with me, @rickdunnblade, and @neonatalbiobank. Applications close December 13th. Feel free to contact me if interested. Please RT. findaphd.com/phds/project/m…
Published today in @Nature, we describe an approach for single-molecule protein reading on @nanopore arrays. By utilizing ClpX unfoldase to ratchet proteins through a CsgG nanopore, we achieved single-amino-acid sensitivity. nature.com/articles/s4158…
