Grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of #bioorganicchemistry Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and the seminar (GRS). Fantastic group of scientists spanning from academia to the industries. I’d love to remain as a part of and contribute to this outstanding community!

[Natalia Milosevich @NatashaMilosev]

Grateful to have finally gotten to attend (and organize) the #bioorganicchemistryGRS with my cochair and friend @prat_i_k. Amazing group of scientists, fantastic talks and posters, and a wild game of volleyball. Thanks to all who came!

ETX0462 potentially represents the first new antibiotic class in 35 years to treat MDR Gram-negative infections.
The key to their success: optimizing permeation alongside target binding potency during antibiotic lead optimization.

It's true! Today’s success with #mRNA vaccines against #COVID19 comes from decades of research, including that of Dr. Pieter Cullis!

Learn more about the long road to these vaccines: https://t.co/tOnS50xBFl

All 22 N-glycan sites of SARS-CoV-2 Spike
37 remain highly conserved among the variants, opening an avenue for robust therapeutic intervention. The group now has "tools" that bind the virus’s protective layer and thereby block the virus from entering hosts' cells.

This is video of a SARS-Cov-2 spike protein under siege. Those little blobs buzzing around it are called lectins, and they could be the secret weapon in a new defence against COVID-19, new research from @UBCLifeSciences has found. 1/8

"Each of the elements in the covid-19 mRNA vaccine are highly intentional choices and it reflects the decades of fundamental research in RNA biology."
One unexpected legacy of this pandemic could be to accelerate the use of synthetic m-RNAs for cancer immunotherapy.
