New paper: We've always used TPGS in our micellar #DEL synthesis. This paper shows you can find better ones using @baonguyengroup.bsky.social surfactant map. Great work from Jake Odger et al pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A...

Something makes me think that this invite might have been autogenerated...

It's official, our med chem Senior Research Associate @hannahstewart92.bsky.social is the world's fastest scientist @guinnessworldrecords.com guinnessworldrecords.com/world-record...

Starting the @mosmedcdt.bsky.social conference. It will get better from here!

Group trip to the pub / watch the bins being emptied.

New paper published today describing some SAR on EGFR inhibitors including an interesting effect of a pair of enantiomers on covalent biinding www.nature.com/articles/s42...

We have a PhD studentship in the @nudrugdiscovery.bsky.social @chemistryncl.bsky.social with me and @hannahstewart92.bsky.social to develop methods of making macrocycles as a new class of antimicrobial agents. Apply at the link and contact us if you have questions. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Check out RSC Medicinal Chemistry now on Bluesky @rscmedchem.rsc.org

Yesterday Julian Knight officially retired from @chemistryncl.bsky.social Julian is a brilliant organic chemistry lecturer and will be sorely missed

Congratulations to Dr Matt Anderson on passing his PhD viva yesterday. @chemistryncl.bsky.social @nudrugdiscovery.bsky.social

We have a #PhDstudentship starting in Sept with me and @hannahstewart92.bsky.social ideal for candidates with interest in research in #medicinalchemistry and #organicsynthesis Contact us for more details but apply through the university portal, details in the link: www.ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate...

Read about our potential breakthrough in oncology - restoring wild type p53 function with ASTX295. This molecule was co-developed with Astex Pharmaceuticals, and is currently showing great phase I trial readout! #cancer #medchem #clinicaltrials www.linkedin.com/posts/cancer...

Our research is critically dependent on funding we receive from @cancerresearchuk.org and we are also willing to do our bit towards fundraising. In 2024: Funds Raised: £6,440 (+£1,031 gift aid) Online Donations: 283 Events: Great North Run, Race for Life, Shine Walk, Leeds Marathon, bake sale, quiz

Exciting collaboration from our @nudrugdiscovery.bsky.social team @newcastleuni.bsky.social, @crhorizons.bsky.social and @diamondlightsource.bsky.social to accelerate hit discovery with structure-based drug design. Big shout out to our structural biology team led by Jane Endicott & Martin Noble!🙌

Looking forward to speaking at the #scireviewmeeting next week. Some interesting topics...

@utejungwirth.bsky.social and Kleopatra Papa spoke at this week's BACR New Developments in #BreastCancer Research conference, highlighting their work on the effect of chemotherapy on cancer associated fibroblasts and drug resistance 🧫 @nucancer.bsky.social @crhorizons.bsky.social #cancer #cansky

Our multidisciplinary team, with strong industry links, specialises in structural fragment-based approaches for class-leading cancer drug discovery complemented by our strengths in synthetic chemistry, innovative target validation technologies & hit matter finding. research.ncl.ac.uk/drugdiscovery/

Newcastle Drug Discovery Group arrives on Bluesky bsky.app/profile/nudr...

Looking forward to speaking at this on Tuesday. Apparently they are keen to hear about #fraglites and #dels - we will see www.nepic.co.uk/event/nepic-...

If you or someone you know has stage 4 cancer please take a look at my story and the free resources on www.StriveForFive.org Loads of tips, videos and podcasts. Hope it’s helpful. #stage4 #cancer #RepresentingPatients #Hope

Today's must read from my @cancerresearchuk.org colleague Annalisa Belloni👇 The cost of cancer: what does it mean for the UK economy? news.cancerresearchuk.org/2024/11/21/t...
