It is a great pleasure to share that our extensive review on "The Chemistry and Biology of the Tetrodotoxin Natural Product Family" has been accepted for publication at Angewandte Chemie: doi.org/10.1002/anie....

I am incredibly excited that our manuscript: "A Platform for the Development of Highly Red-Shifted Azobenzene-based Optical Tools" has been accepted for publication at Angewandte Chemie: doi.org/10.1002/anie... 🤩

We are looking for a PhD candidate in medicinal / organic chemistry with a passion for drug discovery to join our young and enthusiastic team @univie.ac.at. For details, visit: jobs.univie.ac.at/job/Universi.... Reposts are very much appreciated!

Managing to score a professorship without a Cell, Science or Nature paper.

When grant writing is become so intense that you need to procrastinate a little by posting on #ChemSky.

Voting for our new government in 🇩🇪✔️

Dear #ChemSky, I have an important question: Do I need to tattoo a permanent version of my PhD thesis onto my back?

Very excited to share our review on "The Chemistry and Biology of the Tetrodotoxin Natural Product Family", where we discuss their potential for the development of analgesics, structure-activity relationships on NaV channels, biosynthetic hypotheses and chemical syntheses: tinyurl.com/ye6nwnwu.

Only a few days left until the winter break 🙈😅

We are moving one step closer to our goal to develop a general method to red-shift photoswitchable ligands as a foundation for in vivo photopharmacology with our latest work: "A platform for the development of highly red-shifted azobenzenes". Link: doi.org/10.26434/che....

Most importantly, I would like to thank the past and present members of the Konrad lab - it would not have been possible without them: Anna Milton, Constantin Nuber, David Nippa, Kyra Lützel, Manjima Sathian, Helene Schricker, Cedric Pignot, Benedikt Nißl and Hala Zahran!

I am beyond excited to announce that I will be joining the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University Vienna (@univie.ac.at) as a Tenure Track Professor in March 2025! Thanks to the support of the LMU, I will also continue to work as a group leader in Munich for the foreseeable future!

I had a great time visiting @Bayer in Berlin to give a talk on "integrating high-throughput experimentation with machine learning to unlock late-stage functionalization for medicinal chemistry" alongside so many fantastic speakers! Big thanks to Rob Webster for the invitation!

I am quite excited to introduce the Simple User-Friendly Reaction Format (SURF), which we have developed to make it straightforward for chemists to publish machine-readable data. It is basically a laboratory journal entry in a spreadsheet format: doi.org/10.26434/che...
