Yesterday I successfully defended my PhD @PennChemistry. Eternally grateful for the people who made these last 5 years a little easier, many of whom tuned in both virtually and IRL. I dreamed of this day so many times, never knowing how full my heart would feel.

Today was my last lab day before I move to NYC. I’ll be back to defend my thesis but until then I’ll miss my friends in the @DMChenowethLab and in @PennChemistry. I won’t miss the vagelos mice tho….

Check out the latest paper from the group! In collaboration with @lab_zhang, we developed an assay to study the "linkerology" of chemical dimerizers and applied a new tool to control phase separation.
If you are interested in chemical biology, check out our new paper in collaboration with Chenoweth lab where we optimized the linker for our TMP-Halo system for fast dimerization and applied it to control phase separation in cells. chemistry-europe.onlinelibra…

Thrilled to share this work! We engineered a heme enzyme to activate diazirines, giving us access to donor-subsitituted carbenes in biocatalysis. Many thanks to @francesarnold and our collaborators Emma Danelius and @gonenlab. doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20…

Keep an eye out for some really cool probes made by our very own @ChrisJScience! 🧪🔥🔥🔥
Hello! Rising third year @PennChemistry in the @DMChenowethLab here. I synthesize photoconvertible fluorescent molecules for spatiotemporal imaging and tracking of cells and cellular cargo. I’m an aspiring Chemical Biology P.I. and entrepreneur. #BlackinChem #BlackinChemRollCall

.@angew_chem the Chemistry field will remember how you handled this. You published a paper that literally had “diversity of workforce” labeled as a negative influence on our field. This is not a moment to respond with the equivalent of “oops, we need to fix some typos.”
This paper contains opinions that don't reflect our values and has been removed. It wasn't the final version and is pending further editing and final review. Something went very wrong here and we're committed to do better. This isn't who we are and action will be taken.

Have you read 'Rosetta custom score functions accurately predict ΔΔG of mutations at protein–protein interfaces using machine learning'? It's the latest Comm from John J. Ferrie & E. James Petersson et al. @PennChemistry 👉🔗 ow.ly/GINV50zSmID
