Check out our latest work in Nature Comm! Distinct structural features in IDH1 mutants drive their unique catalytic profiles and lead to differences in an allosteric pocket that may impact inhibitor resistance. A great collaboration with Huxford and Cooksy labs here at @SDSU!

Did someone...uh....send the lab hundreds of backpacks? Like, enough to require a pallet and forklift?

Cool things about working in a chemistry department: you sometimes get asked, "Can I borrow your mini-fridge so we can measure the speed of sound in pchem lab?" Um, yes. Absolutely. Amazing things going on in PChem lab @SDSUsciences !
