Happy birthday, Nitza!

In this pre-print we report the chemical and physical properties that set dTAT1 apart from other unnatural nucleosides in developing live semisynthetic organisms and therapeutic applications. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Today group member Chris Acquah defended his PhD thesis work successfully. I am very proud of the work that Chris has done in our group including photophysics and time-resolved spectroscopic, quantum chemical calculations, cell biology and cell imaging, and PDT of cancers.

I am pleased to receive this email today. Any good news is a great news these days and deserves celebration! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ph…
