A wonderful addition to the group! Looking forward to seeing the heights you’ll scale #welcometothegroup

Great review on C-H methylation to drive the magic methyl effect from our very own Mia Callens, give it a read! Congrats to all involved Dixon Group pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Beyond excited that our review ‘Installing the magic methyl - C-H methylation in synthesis’ is available now in Chem Soc Rev! And even more so as my first publication 😄 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Should drug discoverers look to chemical probes to inspire new drugs? We think yes! Great to see Rob’s fairly mammoth lockdown review on clinical molecules inspired by chemical probes out in RSC Chemical Biology, check it out! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our new paper is out in Nature Chemical Biology where we describe our journey from a #covalent fragment screen to an in vivo active Pin1 inhibitor. nature.com/articles/s4158… Below is a musical abstract guest-starring Uri Alon and a tweetorial 1/n

Excited beyond words to share my lab's first research paper which is online today at Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… Have you ever wanted to just "delete" an atom? Anomeric amides let you pluck out nitrogen atoms as N2. So proud of the team! Levin Group Balu Dherange

My first ever crystal!! I have definitely not been obsessively staring at the plates since they were set up...

Really pleased to see our desymmetrization approach to madangamine E now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.!! 🎉🥳 It's been an honour to be a part of the team and work on this #totalsynthesis with Shinya 回復しつつあるドット虚無 and Ken Yamazaki!

Following a refurbishment, it’s great to have the lab back to full capacity!

I am delighted to share this awesome illustration showcasing our Structure-Based Drug Design approach for the development of dementia treatments. A big thanks to Jack Brougham and ARUK Thames Valley Network for making this possible. Please feel free to retweet it!

We are thrilled that Mia Callens has been selected to give an oral presentation at ACSMEDI-EFMC Medicinal Chemistry Frontiers 2023 on her DPhil work! medchemfrontiers.org/programme

We returned from our period of peaceful Paschal contemplation and rest to find that DPhil student Mia Callens has been selected to give an oral presentation at the ACSMEDI-EFMC MedChem Frontiers conference 2023. It’s guaranteed to be a cracker! medchemfrontiers.org/programme

Mia Callens (Mia Callens) from University of Oxford presents “Chemical Probes for RHO GEF/GTPase Complexes at #MedChemFrontiers23. ACS Division of Medicinal Chemistry EFMC

Huge congratulations to the “best presentation” winners of the Annual CMD DPhil Symposium: Kate for the audience vote, and Mia and Anna for 1st and 2nd prize by panel vote! A great day with so many exciting talks by all the students 🎉

Well done to all of the students who gave excellent presentations at the Centre for Medicines Discovery DPhil Symposium yesterday. Extra special congrats go to Mia Callens from Brennan Group who was voted "best presenter" for her description of RHO GEF/GTPase target discovery 👏🏻🍾

Many congratulations to the absolute Queen of the Brennan Group Mia Callens on successfully defending her superb thesis today! A thoroughly well deserved Dr Callens! We are all very proud!!

Thrilled and proud to announce that some of our ECR members have been working extremely hard to establish an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) working group within the NDMRB! The first meeting happened last month with good turnout and enthusiasm.

✨ ANDME Committee Outing ✨ Our ECR Committee enjoying a well-deserved meal last night at Beirut, Headington! After all their hard work, it’s wonderful to see everyone relaxing and celebrating successes together. Cheers to our amazing team! 🥂✨

🥹 happy postdoc appreciation week!!
