I have 2 postdoc positions open for people to come work in our lab in sunny London🧑‍🔬 Got goods skills in using synthetic biology and microbiology to make materials? Consider joining us on. Pls RT 🔁 jobs.ac.uk/job/DGV362/res…

I'm excited to announce that I will be starting my new lab at FSU Chemistry & Biochemistry this July where we'll be engineering natural product regulation and exploring novel biosynthesis! Kalkreuterlab.com

We are excited to release an updated version of our preprint featuring the Natural Product Discovery Center (NPDC)! doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…

We are hiring an NIH-funded postdoc! Looking for a highly motivated researcher with a strong background in natural product isolation and structural characterization for #terpene NP discovery, #biosynthesis, #enzymology. Please RT! UF Chemistry explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/job/5315…

I once was asked: what's the one paper you are most proud of? And this is it (for now 😉). Bringing this massive amount of data into one concise storyline was a challenge which definitly broadened my scientific horizon. cell.com/chem/fulltext/…

This chemistry is some of the most unexpected and interesting chemistry I've ever been a part of, and I can't wait to see where things go next with the enediynes! Not a bad paper to end my postdoc with!

We are thrilled to release 3,000+ more genomes on the NPDC Genome Portal (npdc.rc.ufl.edu)! This week, we are also launching new filter and search functionalities to improve your experience. Please take a moment to fill out our NPDC survey here: forms.office.com/r/6yWxZDVwwQ

I’m so proud to present a key story of my PhD project! 🦠🧫Together with Zach Reitz, we developed a regulation-based strategy to predict gene cluster function and used it to discover a new BGC in Streptomyces coelicolor. Check out our preprint here: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

We're excited to have our NPDC Actinobacteria collection featured in Florida Physician! This resource holds immense potential for drug discovery, and we're looking forward to what comes next. floridaphysician.med.ufl.edu/2024/05/16/a-l…

A very nice summary by Max Sosa and Michelle Chang of our recent work elucidating the early stages of enediyne biosynthesis. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Apply to join our growing department at FSU Chemistry & Biochemistry! 3 faculty openings across a range of areas!

We are thrilled to release over 1,000 more genomes on the NPDC Genome Portal (npdc.rc.ufl.edu)!

Big news, Seminoles! Florida State University hit No. 10 on Niche's 2025 list of Top Public Universities in America, showcasing #FSU as a prime destination for top-notch academics, with outstanding marks for professors, student life & overall value. 🏆📚More details: fla.st/JAB8TV41

Imagine bacteria mining cryptocurrencies. We moved a step closer by encoding a 2-bit MD5 cryptographic hash algorithm – a precursor of SH256 used for Bitcoin - across 66 E. coli strains. It required over 1 megabase of DNA, the size of a small genome. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thrilled to share our latest enzyme engineering in ACS Chemical Biology! We improved an enzyme involved in #polyketide starter unit biosynthesis and used it to generate polyketide acceptor substrates in vitro. Kudos to Jared and the team of authors! ACS Publications

I discuss the urgent crisis from the loss of federal support of science in the US and recent clinical gene editing breakthroughs with Walter Isaacson & Christiane Amanpour on Amanpour and Company, airing on PBS tonight at 11 pm ET, and on CNN International earlier today. Pls share! youtube.com/watch?v=8YhJM6…
