So wonderful to finally meet Prof Angela Russell today - and see her final stop on her RSC Jeremy Knowles Prize tour. Absolutely inspirational talk about her experiences in the drug development process. Grateful for her insights and advice.

The benefits of these peptides as ligands is that you can easily acquire these through custom-peptide synthesis. Peptides are also easily modifiable for other uses.
We look forward to developing these peptides further to make them better.

We looked at two peptides in detail (PTN and VSE) and show that they are able to modulate cMYC transcription.

In this work we show a set of peptides which can bind the C-rich i-motif forming sequence of DNA in the promoter region of the oncogene cMYC.

In my sadness that Irregular Choice is going out of business I'm making more effort to wear my collection - today are black flats with Queen and Corgi #irregularchoice

You cannot knock-out metals, you cannot knock-in metals, you cannot sequence metals - that is why they are difficult to study - Raphaël Rodriguez explains the challenges of understanding the role of metals in biology

Sylvain Ladame was a postdoc at the same time I was doing my PhD - his work on nucleic-acids based diagnostics is exceptional and I'm looking forward to seeing development of these for clinical impact 👌

Given Dongsheng Liu's work is the basis of a lot of what I do, it was a great pleasure to be in the same session as him at the Balasubramanian Alumni Symposium - I often use his figures on i-motif nanomachines in my intro slides (though no need today!)

Marco Di Antonio - his fantastic science is always challenging dogma, but first a bit about Italy ❤️ 🤌🤌🤌

Chun Kit Kwok - who was recently promoted to Professor (congrats Kit! ❤️) - gives a showcase of his independent work on RNA G-quadruplexes today at the Balasubramanian reunion

Shankarfest continues with Mike Booth talking about his work on magnetically actived nucleic acids.

This work, recently published in Nature Chemistry, was actually highlighted in the Times this week (Fancy! - Well done Mike ❤️)
