Yesterday Stevie Wonder received an Honorary degree from Hopkins and the Peabody, and gave us a song to a cheering ovation. The genius of his name is correct.
Former Group Member Brenda Wilson was in town to receive an award from the @ASMicrobiology as her highly regarded "Bacterial Pathogenesis: A Molecular Approach " heads to a new edition. We posed for a picture with her pbk for non-experts written with her son! How cool is that?
Appearing today in @J_A_C_S. Connecting the dots to a biogenetic proposal for anthraquinone-fused enediyne biosynthesis: doi.org/10.1021/jacs.3c04393 Remarkable rearrangement and oxidation chemistry — and a simple, efficient synthetic model. Congratulations Paramita and Serena!
Read a comprehensive overview of NRPS structures from deep background over time to new insights into protein dynamics and functional diversity. Excellent!
Belated, belated congratulations to Jamie to complete the Magnificent Seven, all earning their Ph.D.'s in 2022. Her work with the @MaierLab lab in Basel has given eye-opening views of non-reducing polyketide synthases in action—watch for them later this year!
Replying to @Monobactam
Congratulations Michael! Your Defense presentation was outstanding by any standard. You have the perfect scientist's last name, and have always shown a beam of light on your work. And thank you Lukas for bringing the German tradition of a special hat to mark a special day
How does innovation happen in biosynthetic enzymes? Michael, the latest of the #Magnificent Seven to defend his thesis, made a big step toward answering this question — published in part @PNAS doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2026017…. Bravo all around!
Congratulations to Hunter and successful defense of this Thesis. In a great collaboration the Lamichhane and Nuermberger labs in the School of Medicine, exciting translational advances have been made against @mycobacterial diseases TB and M. abscessus.
Fall down seven times—get up eight. Take 15 min. and listen to what Tyler Perry had to say @Emory.
