Tori Klein from Chemistry and Biochemistry researches what fungi do to insects to find potential cures for cancer. "Using zombie insects to find a cure for cancer," amazing opening slide!

Tori Klein is our winner for #GradSlam 2020 (as well as People's Choice)! They will go on to represent UC Santa Cruz at the UC-wide Grad Slam in May!

Excited to share our new pre-print: Amide-to-ester substitution as a strategy for optimizing PROTAC permeability and cellular activity | ChemRxiv doi.org/10.33774/chemr…

New from Lokey Lab! High-content screening shows Cordyceps-derived cordyheptapeptide A inhibits protein synthesis through interaction with intracellular protein target, eEF1A. Available ahead of print in ACS Laura Kiessling: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Huge thanks to my collaborators for all their hard work and to @biochemafunk and News from Science for the feature!

My last PhD paper from my time in Lokey Lab is finally published! Huge shout-out to my co-first author Adam Bond from the Alessio Ciulli group for another great collaboration! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
