Our latest paper on the solid-phase synthesis and structural characterisation of phosphoroselenolate-modified DNA is out now in @ChemicalScience. A collaboration with @RSofPharmacy and @JimTucker_Group, thanks also to @Diamond_MX. https://t.co/sqrl9CTPt5
David Baltimore (March 7, 1938 – September 6, 2025). His discovery of reverse transcriptase, along with Howard Temin and Satoshi Mizutani, illuminated the retrovirus life cycle, led to the discovery of viral oncogenesis mechanisms and antiviral RT inhibitors, and enabled technologies including RT-PCR, RNA-seq, and prime editing.

Our work on a general vinyl halide cross-coupling method is now published in @angew_chem! It enables seven different C–X (S, Se, C, B, P, N, O) bond-forming reactions with various vinyl halides under predictable and scalable conditions. @ChemistryKoenig https://t.co/fZELaQbDMd
Our latest work is out in @green_rsc !
A greener, solvent-free mechanochemical route to tetramic acids & their biomimetic ring expansion to 4-hydroxy-2-pyridones. @zografos_alex

Mechanochemistry isn't just about greener chemistry. It can open synthetic paths not accessible via traditional solution-based chemistry due to high energy barriers or solubility issues. ⚡ 💧

That’s such an honor! 🙌
A big thank you to @AT_ChemSociety for selecting me, and to the @chemistry_tuw and @Schnuerchlab for providing the perfect environment to do research and for making it so easy to stay curious. 👩🔬🧪🔎
Today, a double bond agent was on a mechanochemical mission 🕵🏻♂️ presenting ball milling strategies for C(sp²)=C(sp²) bond formation 🫨 at the amazing #DreamReactions2025 symposium organized by @GloriusFrank. It was a pleasure 🎩 See you next year!
New from the #DasGuptaLab@NDscience with the @SzostakLab@UChiChemistry! We solved an important problem in the origin of life by showing that prebiotic chemical conditions activate RNA and drive both enzyme-free and ribozyme-catalyzed RNA assembly in the same environment.
🚨Just out in @angew_chem: cross couplings fuel synthesis, but C–S bonds over #SACs were uncharted territory, until now. Here, the first SAC for C–S coupling: selective, recyclable & thiol-poisoning resistant.👏 @GazisTheo, @PalitShilpa & coauthors!
