!! Our group's first publication is now available in the J. Am. Chem. Soc.! We developed a scalable, iron-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling and used it in a number of applications! We sincerely thank reviewers for strengthening our report. Please join me in congratulating Julius (@Ju_Seme) and Yuanjie! Learn more here, pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…
We created a new class of arylpropionamide AR modulators derived from amino acids, addressing several limitations. Compounds show strong AR binding and structure-dependent (ant)agonism. You can read more, here pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Congratulations to the team for discovering and publishing a distinct, robust, and selective C3–C4 bond isomerization available to sulfonyl amino DASAs! Read more here, pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Check out our latest article in @J_A_C_S! We developed a new cascade reaction that combines alkylation, Heck carbopalladation, and C(sp3)–H annulation to generate cyclopropane or cyclobutane heterocycles.

It was great seeing @_Picazo today at UC San Diego. Great takeaways on Iron catalysis and DASA chemistry. I always leave feeling inspired by our conversations about organic chemistry.
By the way, I have never seen a speaker get so jolly about post-presentation questions 🤣
I was incredibly honored to have awarded the inaugural "Dr. Elias Picazo Scholarship" to Linette Barajas from Shafter High School, CA in recognition of her outstanding academic performance, including scientific success, and desire to pursue a career in medicine! Congratulations and best wishes, Linette! Funds are provided by the recently established "Dr. Elias Picazo Endowed Scholarship Fund", created by Sterling Franklin, a Trustee of the Morris S. Smith Foundation!

I had a wonderful time sharing our research at #CSULA on Tuesday! Meeting students was awesome! Special thanks to Profs Foster, Hayes, Selke, Liu, Vozka, and Rounds for sharing their time and thoughts with me! Photographed is one of the buildings I spent much of the day in!
