Our article describing synthetic self-adjuvanted protein #vaccine candidates for #TB (from yesterdays media release) is now out in PNAS. Congrats Anneliese Ashhurst, @_CamHanna, Diana and Josh Maxwell. CIPPS Sydney Chemistry Sydney Science PNASNews pnas.org/content/118/4/…

We have developed an Expressed Protein Selenoester Ligation method that enables the rapid and efficient generation of homogeneously modified proteins at low concentrations of reaction partners. Published in Angewandte Chemie today with BeckerLab. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Excited to see this work out and about!

Check out our latest work in the peptide vaccine space just out in Chemical Communications! We developed a new self-adjuvanting conjugate vaccine targeting Mincle based on the glycolipid trehalose behenate pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

At the start of the pandemic we started thinking about an intranasal vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 using our favourite peptide adjuvant, Pam2Cys. Check out the impressive neutralising antibody titres elicited by our vaccine, paper out today in @Nature_Comms rdcu.be/cZIU6

Great to see this out and about!

Check out our review on how creepy crawlies modify their proteins to drink your blood!🦟🩸

Sad to be heading home from #AusPeptide2023, but so happy to have spent the past few days talking about amazing science and getting to know everyone in sunny Brisbane! AusPeptide CIPPS

Our work on targeting ACE2 with mRNA display towards development of SARS-CoV-2 antivirals is out now in #ACSChemicalBiology! Congratulations to Max Bedding, Joel Mackay, Stuart Turville, ChristieLab and all involved for this collaborative effort! doi.org/10.1021/acsche…

The Royal Society Rising Star Africa Prize is to recognise early-career research scientists based in Africa who are making an innovative contribution to the physical, mathematical and engineering sciences. Read more about the Prize: #RSMedals royalsociety.org/grants-schemes…

We are so proud of Dr Wade Petersen who is giving the Rising Star Africa Prize Lecture! He's travelled all the way to London, but for those in Oz, tune in to youtube.com/watch?v=axfYTL… at 5:30am, Wednesday 7th of February 2024 to listen to how he juggled chemistry during blackouts!

Kicking off the 2024 CIPPS (by the sea) retreat with some exciting work from our lab, hot off the press!

Exciting to start CIPPS by the sea with science talks from our Chief Investigators 🤩 Our Deputy Director Payne Research Group kicked start with their work on engineering potent and effective programmable anticoagulants from blood feeding organisms Josh Maxwell #CIPPSbythesea2024

Congratulations to Josh Maxwell and our 2023 Honours cohort (Mel, Sinclair, Ivan, Luke) for completing their PhD and undergraduate degrees with flying colours! Looking forward to seeing what they achieve after flying from the nest. Sydney Chemistry CIPPS

Congrats to Kat, Pat and co. for their recent publication on optimising RaPID hits for covid-19 mPro inhibition! Massive thanks to our collaborators Stuart Turville Christoph Nitsche Sven Ullrich too for their hard work. Read the article at Chemistry Europe here: doi.org/10.1002/chem.2…

We are thrilled to share new research published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. today - the development of flow chemistry for the generation of modified proteins by expressed protein ligation. Just goes to show what you can do when you go with the flow! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… CIPPS

Check out our work on peptide vaccines for SARS-CoV-2!

Excited to share our work on mirror-image reprogrammed mRNA display, out now in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! We discovered a cyclic D-peptide ligand of CCL22 with nanomolar inhibition - by going through the looking glass, we ended up in D-wonderland 🪞✨ CIPPS doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4…

Congratulations Mark Larance and team for this beautiful work just published in Nature Chemical Biology #glycotime
