BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2026 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai “for the discovery of non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis.”

Exploring alternative hosts for engineered PKSs is a promising strategy. In our latest publication, we established P. putida as a production host for unnatural polyketides.

If Columbia hadn't caved on $400 million, Harvard wouldn't have been targeted for $9 billion. If Paul Weiss hadn't caved for $40 million, Skadden wouldn't have had to shell out $100 million. It's not rocket science, people.

I am thrilled to share our latest biosensor publication in @BiochemistryACS. In this work, we engineered a #biosensor strain for detecting polyketide macrolactones as a step toward applying high-throughput #synbio to polyketide synthases.

Thrilled to share our work that reveals unusual biosynthetic machinery for the core architecture of radarin indole-diterpenoids! Check out the incredibly complex cyclisation chemistry by the noncanonical terpene cyclase RadB.😊

Big crowd to see Prof Sir Shankar Balasubramanian @ChemCambridge give the 2025 Cornforth Lecture @Sydney_Science @SydneyChemistry
Very happy for all the students who have seen his science in my undergraduate lectures... They finally get to see him now in action for real! 🧬

My group is transferring to @ImperialLifeSci in March. We will focus on engineering biosynthetic pathways, and the study of antimicrobials and resistance.

~5y ago, @BDragonMaster @serina_robinson @marnixmedema & I teamed up to make a better NRPS A-domain specificity predictor. @Challis_Group & others joined along the way to add some very cool insights.
Very proud of this work. Check it out now on biorxiv! doi.org/10.1101/2025.01.08.6…
