We have an opening for a NIH-funded postdoc in the lab! Our research focuses on the discovery and engineering of new RiPP natural product biosynthetic pathways using bioinformatic and in vitro approaches. See details below. #chempostdoc

Out now, we use bioinformatics+metabolomics to uncover a plant biosynthetic cassette responsible for diverse cyclic peptides. We apply this to find new NPs in Coffea. Finally, we reconstitute the first enzyme activity for a split BURP peptide cyclase! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

As part of the 40th anniversary of Trends in Biotechnology, we spotlight an achievement in NP production. In 2013, Paddon et al reported 25g/L fermentation of artemisinic acid coupled with synthetic steps to yield the essential antimalarial drug artemisinin. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We had an awesome time at #NP2023 SIMB and got to visit SIO!

Beyond excited for our first paper to be published! Congrats to Stella Lima Ethan Underwood @mikepasquale77 Brigitte, Imani, Tyler, and Cody!

Congrats to Sanath Kandy for successfully passing his PhD proposal defense! 🎉🎉Awesome job!!

Congratulations to Ayoola Smith Ayoola Babalola for passing his dissertation proposal defense yesterday! It's been exciting to see his enzyme engineering project succeed!

Mit did a great job presenting his research at the annual departmental undergraduate symposium! Everyone loved his pie analogy 🥧
