My congratulations to @UWBiochem faculty Monica Neugebauer who was named a 2024 @PackardFdn Fellow for Science and Engineering (1 of only 20 scientists nationwide!) to recognize her important work with novel enzymes & commitment to sustainable chemistry. news.wisc.edu/monica-neugeba…
Check out our new paper! DNA-Directed Activation of Photocatalytic Labeling at Cell–Cell Contact Sites. Congrats to @XuZhou_102, who led this work. Xu just started his own lab at Nanjing University–keep a lookout for his group's exciting DNA nanotech work!

Now in @J_A_C_S, two strategies to simplify design of porous peptide frameworks, giving access to a diverse range of channel shapes and sizes. The topology is controlled by either changing the π-stacking or helix length. @ChemistryatUICpubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…
We are excited to welcome Andres Lira to the group as a Biophysics graduate student @UWMadBiophysics jointly supervised with Jeff Martell @JeffChem. Andres will apply both machine learning and experimental tools to accelerate enzyme design!
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Monica Neugebauer (@NeugMonicaElena), who is a 2024 recipient of the Shaw Early Career Research Award! The $200,000 award is sponsored by @GrMKEFdn. Learn more about Neugebauer's research: biochem.wisc.edu/2024/04/24/…
I'm thrilled for @Martell_Group 5th year Ashley Ogorek that she won the 2024 @ACS_DivBioChem Young Investigator Award! I'm so proud of Ashley and her accomplishments. divbiolchem.org/news/wau2hu4…
Would you be surprised to learn that acid chlorides are not only compatible with biological research, in water mind you, but are in fact, AMAZING?

Huge congrats to Eric Kohn for being selected as a 2024 CAS Future Leader! Very well-deserved! Eric been an outstanding leader in @Martell_Group, @UWMadisonChem, @ACS_DivBioChem, and the broader community.
Announcing the 2024 #CASFutureLeaders! This group of exceptional Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scholars will join us in August to take the next steps in their leadership journeys. Congratulations to our 2024 class! ow.ly/abiu50R0YQM
ALT Brightly colored array and CAS logo with text: CAS Future Leaders. Congratulations class of 2024. Learn, engage, connect.
Check out talks from @Martell_Group#ACSSpring2024! Today, Caleb Cox is giving a poster from 1030-noon in Studio 3-10, Marriott (switchable DNA polymerization catalysts). On Wednesday 7-9 PM, Eric Kohn is giving a poster in Hall C (DNA aptamer selections). My talk is 935 AM today
Our group's first paper, led by the amazing Devon Leimkuhl, is now out in @ACS_AMI! Trying to grow uniform metal oxide films on glassy carbon electrodes? Check out our approach here! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102… 🧪⚡️@uncchemistry
Thank you @CMikeMcGuirk for visiting us @UWMadison! Beautiful and extremely useful materials for energy storage applications and reduction of separation cost! Lovely dinner overlooking the Wisconsin state capitol with @MarcelSchreier2 and @JeffChem
Enzymes are promising catalysts for eco-friendly plastic recycling, but how can we make them faster? We developed a method to screen millions of enzyme mutants for enhanced plastic degradation! @J_A_C_S
