This year I decided to get back in the lab, re-learn how to do chemistry, and get a new project off the ground. Here’s what I’ve been up to. Thanks @PluthGroup members for all the help! More soon 🧑‍🔬

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is the newest gasotransmitter & a key protic small molecule bioregulator. We developed a platform approach to develop & deploy biocompatible responsive chemical tools for HCN delivery. Check out Mike's paper in @angew_chem! https://t.co/317Xe9GFdw

Looking forward to #ICBIC in Adelaide & all things related to biological inorganic chemistry!
Thurs 15:30 Room L3 - Will be highlighting recent work from @PluthGroup on model Se compounds and H2Se delivery!

[Mike Pluth @mdpluth]

Looking forward to learning about all the roles sulfur plays in microorganisms this week at #ISMSM6 & sharing @PluthGroup sulfur chemical biology on Wed (may sneak in some Se chemistry as if S wasn't complicated enough!)

[Mike Pluth @mdpluth]

@TheWarrenLab @J_A_C_S very cool work!

[Mike Pluth @mdpluth]

@BoettcherLab @OregonEChem This is great! And super well deserved!!!
