Very excited to have published our first paper in collaboration with Bradley Moore and Kate Bauman in Nat. Prod. Reports! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Very pleased to share my first, first-author paper! Domoic acid biosynthesis in the red #seaweed Chondria armata, out in PNAS today. Immensely grateful for all of our collaborators, especially Chekan Lab, MooreLabSIO, and my amazing PI Bradley Moore. pnas.org/content/119/6/…

Many #naturalproduct compounds like #cannabinoids are made from ortho-quinine methides. Trevor Purdy April Lukowski review the ways enzymes construct this versatile and reactive biosynthetic intermediate pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Low tides = great tidepooling opportunities! 🐙🐚 During a negative low tide this week, PhD students Anaí Novoa, Danielle McHaskell, Kayla Wilson & Olívia Pereira explored the #TidePools near Scripps, where they encountered nudibranchs, octopuses, crabs, and much more. 📷Erik Jepsen


Happy to share how the #cyanotoxin aetokthonotoxin is made by toxic freshwater Cyanobacteria. Amazing enzyme work by Sanjoy Adak April Lukowski Rebecca Schafer in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

We’re excited to have several members at #ACSSpring2022 in San Diego this week! Come check out our talks and posters from Bradley Moore April Lukowski Kate Bauman Vikram Shende Kayla Wilson Immo Burkhardt

Great hanging with MooreLabSIO at #ACSSpring2022. What a great looking group! The PI needs to step up his game however...


San Diego, the location for the in-person portion of the hybrid #ACSSpring2022 meeting, is also home to scientifically relevant wildlife. Vikram Shende and Kayla Wilson discuss their work at the @MooreLabSIO Scripps Institution of Oceanography on local sea sponges: fal.cn/3n718

Ten years in the making to demystify how the #glioblastoma drug candidate marizomib is made by marine bacteria. Congrats to Kate Bauman Vikram Shende TAMGulderLab_TechBioDD Daniel Romo Daniela Barretto Barbosa Trivella Scripps Institution of Oceanography nature.com/articles/s4158…

Learn more in this segment from Jared Aarons on how Scripps scientist Bradley Moore and team discovered how a deep-sea bacteria creates an anti-cancer molecule, which is currently in clinical trials to treat brain cancer. Via ABC 10News San Diego 10news.com/news/local-new…

Scientists at Scripps, USP - Universidade de São Paulo & UC Santa Cruz have collaborated to discover & validate the enzymes responsible for production of guanitoxin—one of the most toxic & fast-acting neurotoxins associated with freshwater harmful algal blooms in lakes & ponds. scripps.ucsd.edu/news/decipheri…


Thrilled to share our latest Nature Chemical Biology publication by Immo Burkhardt Tristan de Rond P.Y.-T. Chen that #octocorals biosynthesize powerful terpenoids and have been doing it longer than in plants. These primitive animals are remarkable medicinal chemists! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our June issue (nature.com/nchembio/volum…) features a stunning array of octocorals, which the @EricSchmidtLab and MooreLabSIO found were capable of producing their own terpenoids (nature.com/articles/s4158… & nature.com/articles/s4158…).



Congrats Dr. Kate Bauman Kate Bauman on your masterful dissertation seminar today at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It has been my pleasure joining you on your scientific journey! #proudPI


Vanadium-dependent haloperoxidase enzymes have always fascinated us MooreLabSIO for their biosynthetic dexterity. We're delighted to finally share some beautiful structures in Biochemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…
