Otto Liden talking about difluorination of nucleotides #NAF2024 Burley Research Group RSC Nucleic Acids

Well done to Otto Linden in presenting his work at today's RSC Nucleic Acids forum. Also, congratulations to all the presenters, as well as Dave Rusling and Prof Zoë Waller for organising another cracking NAF.

Huge milestone as our study on the GM1-cholera toxin complex by site-selective fluorination is published in ACS Central Science! Many congrats to all authors (Christina Jordan, T. Hayashi et al. Universität Münster). Thanks to partner labs A. Gossert D-BIOL @ ETH Zurich and Jesko Koehnke Leibniz Uni Hannover!

I'm super excited to say that I'll be an @UKRI Future Leaders Fellow from this autumn University of Glasgow Chemistry We will be engineering new approaches to sense steroids for health and environmental protection - watch this space for job postings and exciting new molecular science!

🚨PhD Opportunity:🚨 Come and join us and Vijay Chudasama at UCL Chemistry investigating new chemical methods for empowering antibody conjugates partnered with GSK! 🧪 See findaphd.com for more info: findaphd.com/phds/project/3…

Our chemoenzymatic approach to synthesise 2'deoxyribonucleosides is now out in Chemical Science. Congratulations to Admir 🇧🇦 on his first publication. This has been a great collaboration with Gideon Grogan (York) and Paul Hoskisson 😷🔬🧫🧬🐸🐍🦎 . pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…
