We are very excited to share that our department is searching for a new organic chemistry professor!
Candidates with a research emphasis on catalysis, new reaction development, and/or synthetic methodology preferred. More details at buff.ly/4dzJiRD
The FDA approved Servier’s IDH1 and IDH2 inhibitor vorasidenib for IDH-mutant glioma following surgery, providing the first new drug in decades for this rare cancer

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!
@The_Sohl_Lab show mutants of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1, an enzyme implicated in various cancers, have distinct catalytic and structural features that drive oncometabolite production.

1/2: A collaboration w/ social & clinical psychologists @SDSU@CUSystem lets me participate in & learn about the scientific research behind a passion of mine -- equitable access to STEM! Check out our letter in Science led by @DustinThoman: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…#SDSU
2/2: highlighting an urgent need for more data on undergraduate participation in STEM research (also, check out some SDSU alumni in the picture!) #SDSU
@SDSUResearch s3 is my fave day on campus - our future is so bright w these incredible scholars. So proud of my students colleagues showcasing their hard work, persistence, curiosity, & smarts. They make it look easy, but worked hard to earn this successful day. My heart = full!
BREAKING NEWS:
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”
Two open postdoc positions with my research group: one assisting with the NSF Chemistry Instrument Review and Assessment Library (CHIRAL) bit.ly/SDSU-CHIRAL-postdoc and the other focused on SEM of existing survey data bit.ly/SDSU-SEM-postdoc Can start as early as this July!
Learn more about the campus resources available for graduate students @SDSU at the Mind Body and Soul Community Resource Fair, April 6th 3-6 PM

Grad students are the heart of @SDSU as our scholars, researchers, students, teachers, mentors, & leaders of today & tomorrow , other identities you hold dear. To celebrate u, we invite grad students to the Graduate MindBodySoul Fair on Wed 4/6, 3-6pm. free TACOS, therapy dogs!
science supports what we experience—diverse teams create more impactful, creative, profitable & ethical solutions. For decades, SDSU’S MARC has empowered STEM leaders with @CathieJAtkins @Typhi @Thelmalou817 at the helm youtu.be/MC-Ivz-f02Y
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 !
