I’m excited to announce my first co-author publication as a chemist! We (@WuestLab) disclose the total synthesis of 5 pyridone alkaloids, diverging from a single linchpin intermediate and relying on a late-stage convergent strategy. (1/2) doi.org/10.1039/d6sc04572c

On the topic of review panels, has anyone heard if the NSF GRF review panels met this year? Curious if we are on schedule, as much as that can be or way behind.

Excited to share that our paper in collaboration with the Rather lab (Emory VA), Grabowicz Lab (Emory Microbio), and Sieber lab (TUM) is out now in PNAS! This was a highly cross-disciplinary collaboration to understand a unique HTS hit’s antibiotic MOA. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…

She looks like a DOCTOR in this light. The future’s bright, dazzling ✨ Congrats Dr. Martina Golden (@MartinaaMelissa)!! 💗🧪🤩🫶🐈🪩🍾 Now onto the Carlson lab at University of Minnesota to continue her work on fighting antimicrobial resistance! 🧫👩🏼‍🔬

Congrats DOCTOR Carter Brzezinski (@sp3intermediate)💡👨🏻‍🔬🧪🏊‍♂️💅 From antibiotic development to photochemistry, we’re excited to watch you become a biocatalysis expert in the @KFBChem lab!

Here is the story about our synthesis and biological discovery of phaeocaulisin A and analogs @EmoryChem @emorycollege @WinshipAtEmory @J_A_C_S. Special thanks to @carolrclark for the writing and Sarah Woods for the photos @EmoryUniversity. news.emory.edu/features/2025…

Sad day for the ABS Group but glad we were able to celebrate his 80th bday and 50 years of service back in the Fall.

🛑JUST CANCELLED—Trump HHS has just cancelled key meetings of the Presidential Advisory Council on Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (PACCARB) & CDC’s Environmental Public Health Threats meeting—➡️all because of Trump WH’s new blackout of all HHS external comms. My god.

All the amazing scientists behind the Wuest lab ✨🧪🧫

Congrats German! PhD #21 for the group and in record time. 18 months and five papers later, excited to see what you will do at the DOD. #DidBetter @laneygradschool @EmoryChem @EmoryMMG

Congrats DOCTOR Germán Vargas-Cuebas!! 🦠🧫🐾🌟🍾 😎We’re so proud of you and can’t wait to see all the fun things you’ll do at the DoD! #DidBetter #PhDone

You want to run antibiotic MICs according to best-practice clinical microbiology protocols, but you are not sure how? Our article will walk you through it all! Great to work with @nikikaderabkova @AyeshaMahmood2 and a pleasure to publish in @npjAMR. rdcu.be/dZp04 #AMR

#ChemMedChem Leveraging Natural Product-Inspired Antifungals to Investigate the Mechanism of Action of Peniciaculin A (William M. Wuest and co-workers) @wmwuest @ingrid_wilt @Wuestlab @EmoryChem onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

#SERMACS2024 was a blast ✨ We had so much fun sharing our projects with other scientists and listening to the current research happening across the southeast!🧫🧪💫

Antonio Brathwaite, principal investigator at Emory's Department of Chemistry, gained a $400,000 NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates grant. This initiative will offer research opportunities for undergraduates each year. ➡️ Learn more here: links.emory.edu/132

Based on the latest available data, the resistance rates of key #antibiotics increased from about 16% in 2001 to 44% in 2020. visualcapitalist.com/sp/msci…

Our latest work is out in @ACSBioMed! We found that many hospital-acquired strains of P. aeruginosa are fully resistant to many sanitizers currently used to clean hospitals and also found in home cleaners! @EmoryUniversity @EmoryChem (1/3)
