I’m happy to share that 2 weeks ago I defended my PhD thesis at the @EdinburghChem! Thanks to @julienmich80 and Phill Stansfeld for a lovely viva. Massive thanks also to the best PhD supervisor and mentor @ppxasjsm 🫶🏼
I had a great time presenting at the Tech me out / Bug battle 101 event of Pint of Science earlier this week!
Thanks for the organisers for having me and thanks everyone who made it to the event and for asking really good questions. Hope to do it again in the future!

A PhD position on the characterization of glycoprotein interactomes is available in my group at the University of Edinburgh's School of Chemistry. This is a competitive application in the scope of the EastBio DTP, for details see https://t.co/XYsCf3YDyZ
Can we do alchemistry with zinc? That’s the question we set out to answer in our paper https://t.co/K9vnGphFX7. where we calculated binding free energies (RBFE) of known inhibitors with cross-class inhibition against serine- and metallo-β-lactamases, using open-source methods.
…an upgraded Amber FF for zinc metalloproteins taken from literature. The correlation is significantly improved, but the average errors are greater when compared to the restraint approach. Check out the full paper for more analysis and extensive QM/MM and MM/MD simulations!
Our new workshop 'Crystal Explorers' created by @etomlinson23 and @annabelmacg, was a hit with a fantastic P4/5 class @GorebridgePS , can't wait to see how your classroom crystals grow! ✨
Today is #ColourBlindAwarenessDay!
For your next paper/presentation figures, consider using colour-blind friendly palettes.
