Super excited about this preprint from our lab with the fantastic @NilooGhadirian and @HastingsLab@ElgendyBE!! We discovered that at the RNA level the mutation changes the RNA structure and we can target these "misfolded" RNAs with small molecules as chaperones for CFTR therapeutics.

New paper alert!
We developed a sustainable iodine-promoted C–H activation for synthesizing quinazolinone–chalcone hybrids via C–H activation as TLX agonists. https://t.co/Pq1AXRJfjl
Shoutout to Lingaiah for leading the synthetic work

Had a great visit to Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Pharmacy @TTUHSCSOP connecting with faculty and students and learning more about their wonderful work. Many thanks to @Mahmoudsalama83 for the warm welcome and hospitality!
So much amazing in this picture ❤️. In awe of the people WashU has recruited!!! Thank you @ElgendyBE for hosting! Thank you @jenheemstra and @GarciaLabMS for joining us!! You are all amazing!!! Such a fantastic dinner.
Join us tomorrow for an inspiring seminar by the incredible Dr. Randolph @GwenRandolph_ . Couldn't imagine a better way to kick off our 2025 CCP Seminar Series @WashUClinPharm@WashUAnesRsrch
An incredible way to close out 2024 — #2 in NIH funding for the second consecutive year. Kudos to our research community, and everyone at @WashUMedicine! https://t.co/HOWsWklnYF
After two days of nonstop rain and floods, the sun finally broke through, casting a beautiful glow on @WUSTLmed. This is life—storms may come, but the sun always finds its way back.
I stood in line for 3 hours to vote today! 🇺🇸 It’s a small price to pay for democracy and our right to have a voice. Voting is more than a duty; it’s a privilege. Let’s participate, make our voices heard, and respect the outcome, whatever it may be.
