I am happy to share our latest review article on bile acids and the microbiota modulating host immunity. Great effort by Mike Lee, together with Sean-Paul Nuccio, Ipsita Mohanty, Lee Hagey, Pieter Dorrestein, and Dr. Hiutung Chu 朱曉彤 @chulab.bsky.social. Here is a link with the full text: rdcu.be/dNQbW

Hooooly shit you guys wanna see a dead body

It was an honor to be a part of this. It was a GIANT team effort and I'm incredibly proud of this work and everyone involved. A big highlight for me was getting to work with my officemate Tim Fallon, PhD @[email protected] to divine how these GIANT enzymes generate these GIANT molecules.

Thank you to C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) for highlighting our work! cen.acs.org/biological-che…

A new paper in Science details the largest protein discovered to date. The protein, dubbed PKZILLA-1 by the paper’s authors, comes from the haptophyte alga called Prymnesium parvum: cen.acs.org/biological-che… .

I am very proud of a first year PhD student in my lab, Xianghu Wang, for his paper on how to improve molecular networking with graph topology algorithms just published in J. of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry! The whole process was both helpful for improving the manuscript and smooth.

Never underestimate a diiron enzyme. Congrats Sanjoy Adak for bringing the nitrile synthase AetD to life with @Drennan_lab, Maria-Eirini Pandelia, and Ken Houk labs. Published today Nature Chemistry nature.com/articles/s4155…

A single diiron #enzyme catalyses the oxidative rearrangement of tryptophan to indole nitrile by Sanjoy Adak, Naike Ye, Calderone, Duan, Lubeck, Schäfer, April Lukowski, Ken Houk, Pandelia, @Drennan_Lab, & Bradley Moore MooreLabSIO in Nature Chemistry nature.com/articles/s4155…

Need to get this laminated and glued to my hood and bench immediately.

I had the great fortune of overlapping with the great Jin Yi (Jeanie) Tan while she was an undergraduate researcher with David H. Sherman and it’s wonderful to see her continue to thrive! Congratulations Jeanie!

We're looking for a new Assistant Professor in Marine Natural Products/Marine Biotechnology Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Come join us - apol-recruit.ucsd.edu/JPF04101

We always knew MooreLabSIO alum Kate Bauman was going to make it big, and huge congrats to her and the team for this really excellent work!

Standing-room only as Professor Bradley Moore (Bradley Moore) accepts UC San Diego’s prestigious Distinguished Research Award. The award is a sign of respect from his peers for his groundbreaking research mining the ocean for new medicines.

Congrats Qingyun Dan!

I learned so much watching Sanjoy Adak work on this project during our postdocs, and a huge congrats to him and Bradley Moore for getting this out in print! Absolutely worth a read!

Huge congratulations to Casandra Hurtado in David H. Sherman's research group for finishing this really incredible project! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

I hope you’ll watch this short video from Bradley Moore on the valuable impact federal funding has on basic science research that leads to the discovery of new, life-saving medicines.

In addition to being a proud member of MooreLabSIO, my time at Scripps Institution of Oceanography allowed me to collaborate with natural products legends. Thrilled to see this in print, and huge congratulations to Darren Holland who did all the heavy lifting. doi.org/10.1021/acs.jn…
