Interested in #FBLD or #FBDD for #RNA targets? Then read our newest paper on the discovery of RNA-binding fragments using biolayer interferometry (BLI). doi.org/10.1039/D5MD... #MedChem
Discovery of RNA-binding fragments using biolayer interferometry
Structured RNAs are increasingly explored as novel pharmacological targets for a range of diseases. Therefore, evaluating methods for RNA-focused hit discovery is crucial. Biolayer Interferometry (BLI...

Our paper about fragment-based hit discovery for FabF, a target for antibiotics, just come out, www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti....
We have run a fragment screen by X-ray crystallography and tried different options for hit optimization with manual design working best.
Towards new antibiotics: P. aeruginosa FabF ligands discovered by crystallographic fragment screening followed by hit expansion
There is an urgent need for new antibiotics. FabF (3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase 2), which catalyses the rate limiting condensation reacti…

Learning the local language is generally not a bad thing, but it can't be the job of incoming PhD students and postdocs to strenghten Norwegian as a professional language. And in any case, such measures needs to come with appropriate funding.

Scientists fight Norway’s language law, warning of talent exodus
Mandatory language courses for foreign researchers could harm Norway’s ability to attract the best talent, Nobel laureate says, as rule prompts legal challenge.

Å korte ned stipendiatstillinger til tre år har allerede skjedd på det medisinske fakultetet @unibergen.bsky.social . Hvordan vi skal klare å undervise uten ph.d.-studenter, er fortsatt helt uklart for meg.

Rekken av tiltak, ambisjoner, kutt og pålegg peker i én retning: redusert antall stipendiater
Statsråden har varslet en gjennomgang av doktorgradsutdanningen. Jeg vil oppfordre til at vi først utreder konsekvensene av et sterkt redusert antall doktorgradsstipendiater i Norge.
