Everything chemoproteomics and drug discovery @EliLillyandCo. Former American Cancer Society Fellow @scrippsresearch, ChemE @MIT, views and opinions are my own
Excited to share a new preprint! Using D2B“degrader-first” screening, we uncovered two unexpected routes to protein degradation involving DCAF11/16 and CRL3–SPOP. Our work adds to growing evidence that TPD can extend far beyond canonical mechanisms.

We are hiring! The Matthias Mann Lab @labs_mann@MPI_Biochem in Munich has 3 exciting postdoc openings in proteomics & computational biology. #MSProteomics#PostDoc

@armandcognetta Or how they are prioritizing the follow-up? You can't work on everything and getting both validation and cash via selling to pharma could be advantageous.
New from the Cravatt Lab!
Tryptoline stereoprobes reveal hidden cysteine ligandability — while Boltz-2 nails orthosteric sites but burns out on non-orthosteric ones.
Plus: GRPEL1 ligands disrupt its HSPA9 complex, rewiring mitochondrial biology.
A masterpiece of chemoproteomics + AI.

Brilliant work! Very excited to see where this takes the field. Kudos to those who designed the screen, such an amazing and simple idea in hindsight (those are typically the best!).
I am very enthusiastic for improving fragmentation spectra & the research this empowers.
This means increasing the sensitive and scope of sequencing the immunopeptidome ==> better cell therapies.

Excited to be hosting next week’s DFCI TPD seminar! We’ll hear from two outstanding speakers, Rebecca Metivier and Martin Steger who will share their work on developing and applying mass spectrometry-based proteomics platforms to identify and catalog degrader targets.
Happy to announce my next career step - I’ve launched my independent research lab at Dana Farber!
If you are a trainee interested in ambitious projects at the intersection of chemical biology and cancer biology, please reach out!

Great visualization and reminder of timescales for biological processes. I remember first seeing something like this in @UriAlonWeizmann's System Biology textbook (which was formative in my decision to move into biophysics for grad school).
@nesvilab@michaellazear I’m genuinely sad you felt bullied by these discussions. I found this insightful (albeit surprising) to hear everyone’s perspectives. Special thanks to @mjmaccoss and others for steering some of the conversation.
Registrations are now open for the 14th ABPP conference @abpp2025london on March 30th to April 2nd, 2025, at the Francis Crick Institute. An amazing lineup of speakers. Very much looking forward to catching up with everyone. https://t.co/m4pbbNIqBR
Super cool work from the @Michael_A_Erb lab! I had the pleasure to hear it recently and excited to see it out now. Molecular glues and SuFEx chemistry make for a great story!
We keep stumbling on molecular glues, but how can they be made for a pre-selected target? We’ve been working on this question, envisioning a high-throughput chemistry (HTC)-based approach to convert pre-existing ligands into molecular glues. https://t.co/7ppA24BQVK
Great review for anyone interested in chemoproteomics and drug discovery! Proud to have been part of many of these stories and discoveries during my time in the Cravatt lab and excited for what's to come!
