Very proud that our paper 'Xanthine-based photoaffinity probes allow assessment of ligand engagement by TRPC5 channels' has now been published in @rsc_chembio pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti… We provide new tools to study the pharmacology of TRPC1/4/5 channels in cells.

Xanthine-based photoaffinity probes allow assessment of ligand engagement by TRPC5 channels†

TRPC1/4/5 cation channels are emerging drug targets for the treatment of, amongst others, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, kidney disease, and cardi

During the #lockdown I made a stop motion animation movie on #PROTACs showing how they can target proteins for degradation! It's on the brand new version of the Crews lab website crewslab.yale.edu/

1/ I am a third-year medical student. Yesterday, I was assigned a new patient. I hadn’t met them yet, but knew they had presented with liver-related symptoms. In preparation for morning rounds, I flipped through their chart and checked their lab work.

Congrats @PeterJPeters1 and colleagues! 🙂👍 Sample prep is the main hurdle in #cryoEM and it is great to see such new developments! 😃

Looking to racism in my own field, molecular biology, here are all the institutions that still support James Watson — one of the world's most powerful scientists & Nobel winner who thinks that black people have a lower intelligence than white people.

Excited to share our latest #preprint! Cryo-EM structure of the MlaFEDB #ABCtransporter in #nanodiscs, revealing an #exporter fold and two bound #phospholipids within. Joint first with Nicolas Coudray and @_markmacrae, all from @BhabhaEkiertLab! #teamwork biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Just found out that George Floyd was originally stopped by the police because he handed over a counterfeit note in a shop. I did that once! They handed me back the note as a souvenir, and later I told the story on stage in a comedy routine. That’s some privilege right there.

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

A couple of years ago, Norbert Volkmar in my lab envisioned what the EMC might look like based only on our biochemical data. He drew this for a poster at an EMBO meeting. Great to see the @voorheeslab and make his vision finally come to life...
