Meet our newest labmate, @AndresL0003! We’re glad to have you join our team!

[Martell Group @Martell_Group]

We are so proud of Eric for earning this incredible opportunity!

[CAS @CASChemistry]

Announcing the 2024 #CASFutureLeaders! This group of exceptional Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scholars will join us in August to take the next steps in their leadership journeys. Congratulations to our 2024 class! https://t.co/OnEOdB8A56

New paper alert! Congrats to the amazing Mario, Max, and Ashley on developing an ultrahigh-throughput platform for directed evolution of plastic-degrading enzymes. ♻️

[Jeff Martell @JeffChem]

Enzymes are promising catalysts for eco-friendly plastic recycling, but how can we make them faster? We developed a method to screen millions of enzyme mutants for enhanced plastic degradation! @J_A_C_S

Halloween fun! The Martell lab celebrated spooky season this year dressing as Gru, his adorable daughters, and a horde of mischievous minions from the movie, Despicable Me! Rest assured – no lab goggles were harmed in the making of these costumes!

[Martell Group @Martell_Group]

When your science and style align perfectly you might find yourself twinning with your advisor like Ashley!

Congratulations to @JPHChemBio on his poster presentation at @NOBCChE last week!

[Jeff Martell @JeffChem]

Congrats to Eric on his cover art making the front cover of ACS Chemical Biology!

[Martell Group @Martell_Group]

Eric and Sifei both gave oral presentations at #ACSFall2023 in San Francisco this week! Such great work from such great teammates - go team!

[Martell Group @Martell_Group]

Doubleheader in the Martell group this week! Justice's and @EdwardBPimentel's publication on Copper/TEMPO oxidation of activated alcohols for DNA-encoded libraries is out now in @BioconjChem! Check it out! https://t.co/SBbiONHicX

[Edward Pimentel @EdwardBPimentel]

I'm thrilled to announce that Justice's and my paper on Copper/TEMPO oxidations for DNA-encoded libraries is out now in @BioconjChem! Learn how solution-phase alcohol oxidation can work in a DNA-encoded library context! @Martell_Group @trentmpc https://t.co/N53tbMYa59

[Martell Group @Martell_Group]

Our group’s paper on terminal alkyne DNA aptamers is out now! Find out more about how Eric, Christian, and Gillian used modified aptamers to enhance protein binding affinity here: https://t.co/ipYBvy2abg

[Jeff Martell @JeffChem]

Check out our new paper: installing terminal alkynes on DNA aptamers can enhance binding affinity. Congrats to Eric, @its_Christian08, and Gillian! Thanks @XuhuiHuangChem, Kirill, and Andrew for the fun collaboration and very informative MD simulations!

[Kailey Komnick @Kailey_Komnick]

An incredible paper featuring two of the most talented scientists I know! So excited to see this in print!

[JP @JPHChemBio]

Ashley’s paper “Switchable DNA Catalysts for Proximity Labeling at sites of Protein-Protein Interactions” just got published in @J_A_C_S. Congratulations Ashley! @Martell_Group

[Edward Pimentel @EdwardBPimentel]

Check out my labmate's paper in @J_A_C_S ! I've been very excited to see this in print after hearing about it in subgroup for the last year. Great work Ashley and @XuZhou_102 !

[Xu Zhou @XuZhou_102]

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be involved in this work. Look forward to exploring more applications of DNA nanotechnology in the field of chemical biology.

[Martell Group @Martell_Group]

Latest work from the Martell Group! Read how Ashley and @XuZhou_102 used switchable DNA-based catalysts for proximity labeling in @J_A_C_S. Go team!

[Jeff Martell @JeffChem]

1/ Thrilled that Ashley’s paper is out in @J_A_C_S today! We developed switchable proximity labeling (PL) catalysts that activate in specific cellular locations, such as sites of protein-protein interactions (PPIs). https://t.co/42YARyrGhN

[Martell Group @Martell_Group]

Congratulations to our undergraduate researchers graduating this past week! Max Unger and Hang Yin graduated with degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry. We wish them the best as they embark on their next endeavors!

[Martell Group @Martell_Group]

Congratulations to @Kailey_Komnick and @Wrestling_Ethan on passing your Thesis Background Examinations!

[Martell Group @Martell_Group]

It was wonderful to meet with @sarah_reisman here at UW Madison! Thanks for the great talks!

[UW-Madison Women in Chemistry @uwmadisonwic]

WIC was honored to host @sarah_reisman for our @OrgReactions seminar! An insightful seminar on navigating and building an academic career, followed by student presentations, and ending with a thrilling total synthesis presentation for the organic path students and faculty.

[ACS Biochem and ChemBio @acsbiol]

Congratulations to Ashley Ogorek of the @Martell_Group at @UWMadisonChem on receiving the Biological Chemistry Research Award from the DBC! Catch her talk on DNA-assisted proximity labeling at the DBC awards session from 2-5 PM on Wednesday! #ACSDBC #ACSSpring2023
