Warmest congratulations to David Wu, winner of this year's #UCSF #GradSlam, for his talk on a blood test to detect concussion. Also, kudos to runner-up Olivia Creasey, and 3rd place/People's Choice winner Ryan Muir, and ALL the Slam finalists. You guys were fantastic!

Take a look at my 3 minute Grad Slam talk that I gave a couple of weeks ago! Turns out the hardest part of grad school is summing up 5 years of research in only 3 minutes... #GradSlam m.youtube.com/watch?v=XzCL0h…

UCSF laboratories of Adam Renslo and Michael Evans describe a small molecule PET reagent for imaging the disposition of labile ferrous iron in animals. UC San Francisco UCSF Imaging UCSF School of Pharmacy pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Sneaking antibiotics into bacteria with siderophore-iron(III) conjugates is a cool trick. In our latest paper in Infectious Diseases we instead uncage antibiotics via reaction with free iron(II) at infection sites buff.ly/2Xh7m85 Eric Skaar Ryan Muir Erin Green

If you speak a language other than English and want to help me translate this, there's a form here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… thank you thank you thank you

Our collaboration with QBI on #SARS_COV_2 host factors and how to drug them is online now biorxiv.org/content/10.110… thanks to everyone. #COVIDー19 UC San Francisco UC Berkeley HHMI

The findings of a Nature paper suggest that there may be potential for developing treatments for #COVID19 by repurposing drugs that are already approved or under investigation for other conditions. go.nature.com/3d4DHmy

Exploiting KRAS-driven Ferroaddiction in Cancer Through Ferrous Iron-Activatable Drug Conjugates (FeADC) biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

I am very disturbed and disappointed by Prof. Hudlickly's comments in this article in Angewandte Chemie where he makes the case that “diversity of the workforce” has a ”negative impact” on the field of organic synthesis (see the ridiculous figure!) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Figure 1 says that "diversity in the workforce" is having a negative impact on the field of Organic Synthesis. Additionally complains that grad students are no longer willing to "submit to their mentors." I can't believe Angewandte Chemie published this. drive.google.com/file/d/1Dy8UCH…

We are deeply sorry for the opinions expressed in the recent piece published in our journal. We recognize the responsibility we have to our community and are conducting an internal investigation into this incident. Read our full statement here: ow.ly/XYht50A0sAF

To photo-affinity, and enzyme/AA-reactive ABPs, you can add ABPs activated by intracellular labile iron. Congrats to Ying-Chu, Juan and collaborators @aPOPEtosis and @SJD956! #ferroptosis J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

As repurposing drugs for #COVID19 has drawn much attention, a new study shows that drugs w/ antiviral effect through phospholipidosis are unlikely to be effective in vivo. Screening out such drugs may allow a focus on drugs with better clinical potential. fcld.ly/xzcdmd9

A new radiotracer that detects iron in cancer cells has proven effective, opening the door for the advancement of iron-targeted therapies for cancer patients, according to research published in JNM. ow.ly/Tfhg50FCgq1 #PrecisionMedicine #Theranostics #Cancer

Thanks to Jason Lewis Radiochem MSK for highlighting our work presented at WMIS WMIC developing nuclear imaging methods to better exploit the labile iron pool for cancer therapy Adam Renslo UCSF Imaging Ryan Muir Ning Zhao

Thrilled to share that the Zaro Lab's first ever preprint is now LIVE on ChemRxiv 🧪 We developed a new, highly-selective (like, *really* selective) covalent inhibitor of BTK through the simple elaboration of fumarate ester-based warheads (1/n): chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

It was a pleasure working with @__mguerra__ on this review. I love this topic and am excited to see where the field is moving!

Excited to share our recent publication on identifying & targeting ferrous iron addiction in KRAS-driven cancers using the TRX-based prodrug strategy. doi.org/10.1084/jem.20…
