#Introduction.
I am a Senior Scientist @UW focusing on T cell #immunology interested in what constitutes the most beneficial T cell response to infection. Also fascinated by the complexities and oddities of non-mammalian immune systems.
Something people don’t know about me: In rare moments of quiet, I sketch (see work-in-progress pic).
I am here to keep up-to-date with the latest in science news, publishing, and banter. Might connect with the #indie music scene for some tunes too.
An interesting point on #drugdiscovery
“.... How do we truly define a #smallmolecule #drug today? ... Are #chemists making the “wrong” kinds of molecules?
Or have we entered a new era of drug modalities?
.... And just to prove chemists can continue to make the “right” kinds of molecules, here are some recent low Mw drug #approvals -
- Tecfidera (Mw 144), #FDA approved 2013
- Tavaborole (Mw 151), FDA approved 2014
- Avibactam (Mw 265), FDA approved 2015
- Benznidazole (Mw 260), FDA approved 2017
- Migalastat (Mw 163), FDA approved 2018
How many novel small molecule drugs Mw<300 are yet to be discovered?”
First post an a short intro. I’m a medicinal chemist/drug discoverer in academia. My group works on a variety of areas: cancer and neuroscience mainly. For (permanent) fun, when my students discover an in vivo probe, it gets tattooed on me. Can’t wait for our #PROTAC project to be successful, may need my leg.
A fantastic #review on #lipidkinases by John #Burke and colleagues.

We study pulmonary #immunity to #Tuberculosis and
#influenza. We used to focus on T cells but now it's pretty much any/everything We believe in #openscience (and love #biorxiv)

🚨🚨🚨Devastating news out of South America - #AvianFlu has been confirmed in African Penguins. Very concerning news for #seabirds. Stay alert and report any symptomatic birds to @docgovtnz@twitter.com
Things to note about this strain of avian flu:
1. There is no treatment

Hi everyone! I guess that it was about time, so this is my #introduction My name is Jordi, I'm Associate Professor at Uppsala University. I'm a screener, phenotypic drug discovery and automation are two of my professional passions. Otherwise you will find me playing with my kids, eating good food with the family, doing sports (Svensk Klassiker anyone?), and listening to music whenever time allows. See you around!
The error bars in Figure 9 are specTacular.

Sure, but what's the copay?
We have an opportunity for an outstanding scientist to establish their research group at the Perutz. The successful candidate will be offered an #assistantprofessor position at the Medical University of Vienna. Read more: https://tinyurl.com/4hjm863y #sciencjobs #facultyjobs #academicjobs
#Introduction: I am curious about how proteins and membranes work in cells to deliver cargos. Multidisciplinary lab (with great collaborators) at UMass Chan Medical School #MembraneTraffic #Biochemistry #StructuralBiology #CryoEM #Biophysics #CellBiology #Genetics #Immunology
Also passionate to increase diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in #Science #Academia.
By way of #introduction, (or #introductions), I'm a writer. I write a column on science for the New York Times, and I also write books. ( https://carlzimmer.com/books/ ) The pandemic has taken up a lot of my working attention since early 2020, but other aspects of biology have obsessed me in previous years, & I now have some time for them again. Neanderthals, aliens, CRISPR, ecological collapse, etc.
Still pondering how best to use Mastodon. (I haven't deleted my Twitter account, at least not yet.)
#introductions Hi all, I notice many familiar faces on this server so I decided to move in. About myself: #drugdiscovery, #antibodies #engineering, #biotech, #startup. Look forwards to exchanging ideas about science and technology. 🤝
Time for my #introduction I suppose.
Was a #pharmaceutical journalist covering #pharma #biotech, #healthcare and #digitalhealth.
Now research director at a #lifesciences digital strategy consultancy, writing about many of the same themes, but also business-orientated topics like #customerexperience (#CX), #digital transformation and commercial strategy.
May also post about #music (particularly #punk and #indie), #Bengali language/culture, #art and #books.
