Excited to share this work with rockstar MD/PhD student @theobruun! Our study began so we could better characterize one HIV-1 inhibitor, but it led us to explore how neutralization tiers impact inhibitors and Abs with diverse epitopes. A 🧵... 1/x

HIV-1 neutralization tiers are not relevant for inhibitors targeting the pre-hairpin intermediate https://t.co/IBxrFRBUS8 #bioRxiv

I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes…

At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh..

It was comfy, it was quiet

In hindsight, too good to last…

Thrilled for my friend and colleague @BrianHie! Looking forward to all your lab accomplishes in the coming years!

[Brian Hie @BrianHie]

Delighted to share that I will be starting a research laboratory as a professor at @StanfordEng ChemE and @StanfordData, in collaboration with @arcinstitute. The lab will work on aligning biological AI with human good. https://t.co/TtiBxwNeTR

@BrianHie @StanfordEng @StanfordData @arcinstitute Congratulations Professor Hie!!! 👏😍🎉

@MekedlawitTS @NOBCChE I wondered if you were here!! Would love to say hi!

Probably the best ADC review I came across, so much valuable information + great figures on targets, linkers and payloads!

@li_lingyin @pdhsu So sweet! Glad your kids are able to explore their sequencing dreams at the dinner table—I grew up with pretty nerdy dinner table convos too! 😊

[Ben Bell @benjamin_n_bell]

@Caroline_Bartma Stanford Medicine has done this for a few years—it was always a highlight of the academic calendar! 😍 attempt to purge, find some goodies to take back to lab 😂 https://t.co/X8ENCKoSxB

How do plants make complex triterpenoids?? In collaboration with @AnneOsborun1 lab, we discovered 22 enzymes for the biosynthesis of limonoids in Citrus and Melia. Published in @Science today! @StanfordEng @Stanford https://t.co/BMEunjJZrg

I’m hiring a postdoc to join my new lab in Stanford Genetics!

I’m looking for a creative and team-oriented postdoc to engineer receptors and gene circuits to control immune cells and hematopoietic stem cells for therapeutic applications.

Plz retweet 🙏🏾 1/n

@WeiWei_Stanford Sorry to hear this, Wei. My condolences. 🙏💛

Super interesting/simple approach to improving adjuvant binding by my former labmate @duoxu1989. He’s a sharp, thorough scientist and a kind, generous colleague. Keep an 👀 out for his next steps!!

Excited to share this recent work on vaccine design via antigen reorientation! https://t.co/SqaQvChkCf
