Today @StonyBrookChem hosted our 25th Chemistry Research Day! Great chance for students to present their work. Proud of both the undergraduate students that work with me, they both presented their first posters and absolutely crushed it! #proudmentor @group_boon

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.

Lactate is an important substrate🍔for P. aeruginosa in infection sites. We show that PA’s “redundant” lactate dehydrogenases are used by different biofilm subpopulations and contribute to survival within macrophages🦠Great work by @Lindsey_Florek& collabs.doi.org/10.1128/mbio.00852-2…

Amazing opportunity to join the faculty of the Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology @LauferCenter @stonybrooku apply here by Sept 30: apply.interfolio.com/150310

Kick off the new semester with a fun-filled afternoon with the CIE and Graduate School Welcome Back BBQ! Let's reconnect, share summer stories, and get excited for what's to come 🌭 RSVP at bit.ly/GradBBQ24 or through the link in bio.

Natalie was awesome to work with! She did everything. PCR, protein purification, FPLC, HPLC, kinetics, yada yada yada. I could go on and on! Crazy to think how much she was able to do and learn! Any college would be lucky to have her!

Come by my colleague @StonyBrookChem! We are searching for an Assistant Professor in the areas of physical, biophysical, analytical, atmospheric, surface, and/or environmental chemistry - both experimentalists & theoreticians are welcome! apply.interfolio.com/148894 #facultychemjobs
