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 😂)

🛟Wow cyclic peptides are cool! Excited to share a new publication on "Potent Cyclic Peptide Inhibitors Disrupt the FANCM–RMI Interaction". Work led by @yuhenglau to which we contributed structures and ideas. The top hits mimic native MM2...but in reverse! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
