[Jaquesta Adams @jaquestaadams]

I'm so excited to officially announce I will be joining UC Berkeley in the fall to pursue my PhD in Chemistry as an NSF and Chancellor's Fellow! (PICTURED BELOW: Me at my virtual visit 😂)

We have discovered plant cell penetrating peptides! Tag your protein of interest with these small peptides for direct protein delivery to plants! https://t.co/RRBB0Iugot @plantae_org

29% (!!!) of papers published in top bio journals (incl some of our own prior work😓) contain data distortion in figures that mis-represent research findings! We welcome feedback on our preprint & recommendations to avoid these errors moving forward: https://t.co/iC3qBzzTYT

I am delighted to share that I am joining the Chemical Engineering Dept & ChEM-H Institute as an Assistant Professor at Stanford in fall 2025! My lab will explore the nano-neuro interface, building nano-tools & micro-brain models to tackle neurodegenerative disease 🔬🧪🧠💡

@NatsumiKomatsu @Landry_Lab @SchmidtFellows @RiceGradSchool Congrats, Natsumi!

[Natsumi Komatsu @NatsumiKomatsu]

I am beyond honored and grateful to receive the BWF CASI! This wonderful program will support my transition from postdoc to faculty phase, and I couldn’t have done it without the guidance and support of so many incredible people!! @Landry_Lab @SchmidtFellows @RiceGradSchool

[Ifé Akano @IfeAkano]

My heart is so full. I am leaving my first #HHMI Gilliam Meeting feeling energized, empowered, and inspired to change the world. I am grateful for the opportunity to expand my impact and continue uplifting my community. Counting down the days until we meet again in September! 💚

How do protein corona datasets compare across facilities? Check out our collaboration with the @MahmoudiLab to learn more!

[Howard U Chemistry @howardchemistry]

Jaquesta Adams HUCHEM BS ‘20 is a 3rd year Chemical Biology PhD candidate in the Landry Lab at UC Berkeley. Her research focuses on developing nanosensors for neuropeptide detection.

Oxytocin is likely implicated in Autism Spectrum Disorders but largely "invisible". Now we can image oxytocin in brain tissue (without vasopressin interference!!) with Nicole's new oxytocin nanosensor! https://t.co/vD7BzHdN76

Just in!

First selfie from our 2022 #NobelPrize laureate in chemistry @CarolynBertozzi. Congratulations!

[Francis Group 🧪 @GroupFrancis]

Big congrats to Francis lab member Derek Manuel García Almedina, who took home the poster award at last week's QBI conference for his work on tyrosinase-enabled construction of bispecific antibodies!
