Super excited to be joining Royal Australian Chemical Institute for #MCCB2025 in Darwin #NT this April!! #chembiol #drugdiscovery #peptides #ozchem


thrilled to share the molecular mechanism and the geometrical theory underlying the dynamic, polymorphic assembly of pentamer-based #proteincages and #proteinnanotubes, now published in ACS Nano.

🎉👏 Congratulations to our Associate Investigator, Associate Professor Yu Heng Lau from our University of Sydney node on receiving an NHMRC Investigator Grant! He has been awarded $1.6 million for his project "Developing targeted therapies for gliomas by peptide-assisted fragment

Protein power couple and Centre members from our University of Sydney node Dr Taylor Szyszka and Rezwan Siddiquee have been selected to be part of Raising the Bar! 👏👏👏 This unique outreach initiative features 20 academics visiting 10 bars across Sydney to deliver talks about their research,


A postdoctoral position, funded by the The Leverhulme Trust for up to 36 months, is available to join my group Chemistry Edinburgh . The project focuses on biomimetic approaches to natural product synthesis. Deadline: 18th April 2025. elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

We're hiring!🚨Our lab Sydney Chemistry is looking for two new #chempostdoc for our drug discovery program: 1) Synthetic/Med Chem (small molecule hit-to-lead)🧪 usyd.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/USYD_EXT… 2) Chemical Biology (peptide inhibitors)🦠 usyd.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/USYD_EXT… Pls spread the word!🙏


We're hiring! Join our team at Molecular Horizons @ UOW to study mitochondrial DNA replication using single-molecule imaging and cryo-EM. Looking for someone with strong experience in protein biochemistry. 🗓️ Apply by 29 April 2025 🔗 uow.edu.au/about/jobs/job… Jacob Lewis 🧬 📷


Oh my goodness, I feel like I have made it as a scientist! good papers just retweeted our paper (accepted to Angewandte Chemie like 2 days ago!) Thank you so much for boosting our discovery! ❤️☺️🧪

Our paper on in vitro assembly and packaging of encapsulin protein cages is now accepted in Angewandte Chemie 🥳 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… Congrats Dr Taylor Szyszka for leading the charge, along with all our team members and collaborators



The #MCCB2025 conference in Darwin kicks off in style, with Alessio Ciulli delivering an amazing talk on dual ligase targeting molecular glues, and their new bromocatch tag (Talk so good it blew the power out all across Darwin for a minute 😂)


Feel happy and privileged to be here in Darwin Australia to learn about the exciting science going on everything chemical biology and medicinal chemistry at the Royal Australian Chemical Institute #MCCB2025 and sharing the latest work from our group Centre for Targeted Protein Degradation UoD Life Sciences


Congratulations to our Royal Australian Chemical Institute MCCB Division award winners, delivering their lectures this morning in Darwin: Peter Scammells - Adrien Albert award Christoph Nitsche - Peter Andrews award 👏👏👏 #mccb2025


Dr Taylor Szyszka, @yuhenglau and team (@rezwansidd Sydney Chemistry) have developed a new system for assembling encapsulin protein cages in vitro. This enables the packaging of a variety of molecules for limitless applications in biotech. #openaccess 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

A happy accident in the lab has led to a breakthrough that could transform how we take medicine — cutting side effects and delivering drugs with incredible precision. 🎯 Read the story behind the discovery 👇 coesb.com.au/happy-accident… Dr Taylor Szyszka Australian Research Council
