C-GEM has been renewed to continue solving chemistry’s “Holy Grail” problem of how to synthesize truly sequence-defined chemical polymers, oligomeric molecules possessing both a pre-determined, diverse sequence, and a defined length. In the last five years, C-GEM scientists have site-selectively generated C-C bonds in ribosomally… Read More »NSF C-GEM renewed for Phase IIb
Carly Schissel (postdoc, UC Berkeley) was featured on an episode of Drug Diaries. She talked about her pathway through academia, how she became interested in chemical biology, and her research as a C-GEM scientist. Listen and watch the episode here:
Miller Fellow Carly Schissel’s (postdoc, UC Berkeley) writing was featured in the most recent edition of the Miller Institute newsletter. She wrote about her research interests and how her academic path led her to C-GEM’s science. Read it here!
C-GEM’s science was written about in a Nature Technology Feature about genetic code expansion. In particular, the article featured collaborative work from the Chatterjee lab and Schepartz lab discovering a tRNA synthetase from Methanomethylophilus alvus that can accept non-α-amino acids bio-orthogonally in E. coli and… Read More »NSF C-GEM is featured in Nature News
Check out this Berkeley News article about how three recent papers from C-GEM advance our goal of repurposing the translational machinery to make new polymers. And read the papers 2. Expanding the Substrate Scope of Pyrrolysyl-Transfer RNA Synthetase Enzymes to Include Non-α-Amino Acids in Vitro… Read More »NSF C-GEM research featured in Berkeley News
C-GEM’s peptides and graphics were featured on the cover of ACS Central Science Volume 8, Issue 4. The image comes from a collaboration between the Francis lab and Schepartz lab discovering a method to modify the backbone of peptides using an existing class of peptide… Read More »NSF C-GEM featured on the cover of ACS Central Science
