Check out our preprint on “azostitching”, a one-pot synthesis of azobenzenes and azoheteroarenes from organoboron compounds and anilines. This modular method vastly expands the accessible chemical space of azo dyes and photoswitches, opening new possibilities for their exploration in materials science, chemical biology, and photopharmacology. chemrxiv.org/doi/10.26434/ch…

Today, @NIH announced a new policy to cap how much publishers can charge NIH-supported scientists to make their work publicly accessible. This reflects our broader effort to restore public trust in public health by creating an open, honest, and transparent research atmosphere. Read more ➡️ bit.ly/4nCdIbl

We’re very excited to share our latest work on electrochemical coupling of olefins and CO2 in @angew_chem. Alternating polarity improves selectivity and tuned the mechanism unique to other electrochemical olefin functionalization reactions. Congratulations, Stella! ⚡️ @synthesisstel onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

New work from our lab on the use of [11C]CO to prepare benzamides titled "Production of 11C-Labeled Amides via "In Loop" 11C-Carbonylation" has been published in the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry. The work was led by Tanpreet Kaur. aces.onlinelibrary.wiley.com…

Dr. Viola gave very insightful @PennRadiology grand round talk about the role of radiopharmaceutical agents for cancer treatment and imaging. Also setting the foundations for "Radio" Theranostics. @ViolaLaboratory @karmanoscancer

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

Expanding the utility of cyclotron-produced #gallium68 beyond our initial work with #PSMA has been a big focus of @DrGallium's PhD work and Kevin's undergrad research. Their newest work is out now in @Molecules_MDPI with @afallenbrooks and Ben Viglianti. mdpi.com/1420-3049/29/22/545…
