Looking forward to Directing Biosynthesis VII #DBVII – join us in Birmingham to connect with colleagues, share and discover cutting-edge biosynthesis research.

Registration closes on 10 June. Be part of the conversation: https://t.co/pOFeyCNxfq

Great to catchup at Monash with our Director @TheCraikGroup and CIs Max Cryle and @Challis_Group to hear Doug Mitchell's talk while he's out on sabatical from our partner @UofIllinois. Looking forward to hosting you Doug at our ANU and Queensland nodes shortly.

Check out some of the PhD work of @JianXinyun and @FloraPang1 from their time @warwickchem on mechanisms of antibiotic structural diversification by trans-AT polyketide synthases, recently published in @J_A_C_S. https://t.co/Absc9aftqz

Congratulations to Daniel Van, an @MonashWarwick Alliance research fellow in our group @warwickchem, co-supervised by @pstansfeld, who won the best poster prize at the Antibiotic Discovery Accelerator Network Meeting @JohnInnesCentre in Norwich.

[Chris Fage @fage_chris]

It's official: I'll soon be joining the Microbiology Department at @I2BCParisSaclay as a group leader! Endless thanks to those who supported me in this endeavour, especially: @Challis_Group @lewandowskilab @Jenner_Lab @MergaertP @SylvieLautru Muriel Gondry & Olga Soutourina!

[Challis Group @Challis_Group]

Congratulations to @fage_chris a former @BBSRC postdoc in our @warwickchem group, who has been appointed a group leader in the microbiology department @I2BCParisSaclay

[Challis Group @Challis_Group]

Congratulations to @CallumBullock12 an @MIBTP1 PhD student in our group @warwickchem who was awarded a best poster prize at the Chemistry and Biology of Natural Products ECR conference.

[Challis Group @Challis_Group]

Congratulations to @MIBTP1 and @warwickchem PhD student @MunroPassmore co-supervised by @Jenner_Lab who won the Chemical Biology prize for his talk at our departmental postgraduate symposium yesterday.

[Challis Group @Challis_Group]

Congratulations to @AlexJMullins who has been awarded one of BBSRC's 22 new Discovery Fellowships. We look forward to hosting him in our Warwick lab for three years from August. https://t.co/XHDIT34xka

If the purpose of education is to score well on a test, we've lost sight of the real reason for learning.

Awesome job Munro!!

A colourful start to 2023 🎇

Very surreal to see my posters at the entrance to our chemical biology labs @warwickchem - I had so much fun making them and it’s amazing to see them up!

[Masschelein Lab @Masschelein_Lab]

Extremely honored to receive an @ERC_Research Starting Grant to engineer beneficial gut microbes for therapeutic applications!! A big thanks to my team members, colleagues and mentors who've supported me in this process!🙏🥳@VIB_microbes @BiologyKULeuven👉https://t.co/NFpckk0qFY

Email I sent in response to @NatureComms´s request for me to act as a reviewer today (part 1 of 2).

#OpenAccess isn´t open if those of us in developing countries are economically excluded from publishing equitably.

2/ These editing protocols are very robust & easy to implement, taking advantage of efficient recombination in yeast, & enable multiple genes to be edited in parallel, streamlining the process. Read the paper: https://t.co/UFnZcVUxqO

1/Published in @NAR_Open, the @Challis_Group have developed a new technique for rapid cloning & editing of gene sets. Their method enables editing of genes sets from bacteria to be done more easily & rapidly than CRISPR/Cas9 & has a broad range of applications in bioengineering.

The #CBNP16 is back as an in-person meeting at @uniofwarwick for the first time in 4 years! Join us for a 2-day symposium exploring the chemistry and biology of natural products.
