Proud to post the final version of the Persaud Squad's first manuscript-we made a panel of SAv-drug conjugates enabling in-house, cost-effective ADC production from any biotinylated mAb. We compared CD45-ADCs with different payloads as HSCT conditioning agents.

Well that sucks.
Living mostly unscathed by St Louis weather for almost 19 years, I guess I was due (and by the looks of it, pretty damn lucky it wasn’t worse). Hoping everyone else in the area is doing alright.

A weird and unfortunate coincidence that two of my favorite CD numbers (45 and 47) are also, as of today, the numbers of my least favorite president. What’s next, a return to politics by former senator Christopher “Kit” Bond (“c kit”)?
