A pleasure to host Bruce Turnbull from @universityofleeds.bsky.social today at @chemistryncl.bsky.social as part of his @rsc.org 2024 Bader Prize lecture series and hear all about his group's work in synthetic glycobiology #chemicalbiology #glycotime

Thrilled to welcome Dr. Sarah Barry from King's College London to Newcastle University as part of Women in #ChemBio seminar series sponsored by the Biochemical Society. Dr. Barry leads a research group focusing on bacterial metabolism and natural product biosynthesis. #WomenInSTEM #ChemicalBiology

In May, Newcastle's #ChemicalBiology Special Interest Group hosted a Symposium as part of the Inspiring #Women in Chemical Biology seminar series sponsored by the Biochemical Society, packed with talks and posters! 👩‍🔬💬💡

Pleased to share the first paper from my independent group. We describe a short, economical synthesis of O-glycosylated amino acids. Out now in @rscchembio.rsc.org pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Pleased to share a bit of recent success from the group as PhD student Ella won the poster prize at the @mosmedcdt.bsky.social conference in Durham! #mosmed25 bsky.app/profile/mosm...

Are you an early career researcher in chemical biology? Our colleagues in the Chemistry-Biology Interface group at the RSC are organising this fantastic leadership retreat, bringing together experts in the field to talk about research, leadership, and collaboration

In our chem bio research groups, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and make a difference. Special thanks to all the women in our group and @kawamuragroup.bsky.social for their contributions to the field of science! #IDWGS2025 #womeninscience

Yesterday, after 34+ years of excellence in teaching & research, Dr Julian Knight gave his last organic lecture at Newcastle. Then this happened...😍 Thanks so much to Julian, and all the staff and students that turned out to wish him well in his retirement! #WeAreNCL

New paper out today from the lab on Akkermansia muciniphila 🦠and how it breaks down host glycans! Very proud of my group, especially @cassiebakshani.bsky.social who did an amazing job. @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social

Late posting this but back in December we had our annual Christmas Symposium with the @kawamuragroup.bsky.social (recently joined bsky). Great morning of science followed by an afternoon of festive fun. Feels a long time ago now!

Popped into #spudfest with some of the Kawamura group (not yet on bsky) for some potato wedges, potato soup and freebie potatoes grown on the @newcastleuni.bsky.social farms as part of ongoing research in @sciencesncl.bsky.social 🧪

The RSC Chemical Biology and Bioorganic Group is now on Bluesky and delighted to be here! We're really looking forward to keeping you all updated with the latest events and news from our community, across the UK and internationally. Spread the word to those you know, and give us a follow! #chembio

Know anyone interested in studying for a PhD? Fully funded PhD position to establish Thermus Thermophilus as a bacterial strain for biocatalysts. Deadline on the 11th December 2024! International applicants are welcome to apply www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Huge congratulations to Lee Higham, Toni Carruthers & Fabio Cucinotta, and the whole team from @sciencesncl.bsky.social @newcastleuni.bsky.social and partners! 🎉 Richly deserved for all their hard work in raising employability of chemistry undergraduates #RSCprizes

Things are getting busy on here #glycotime and #chembio. Looking forward to being part of the thriving online research community.
Watch this space for some new papers coming soon

Had a great group Christmas Meal on Thursday at My Delhi in Newcastle. The group’s getting bigger!
