Congrats Diego and Max!! Three cheers for these new University of Michigan grads!! Michigan Chemistry Narayan Lab @ UMich 🎓🎓

In a new ASBMB Profile article, Narayan Lab @ UMich member Kendrick Smith discusses how music, synthetic chemistry, biocatalysis and ever-present notebooks shape his approach to science and teaching.

SPOT this new paper about SPOTall 👀 read all about how these novel tools are being used as a platform to map GPCR agonists. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

The amazing ⁦Ayza⁩ presenting her work today at LSI Colloquium - not to be missed

A comprehensive guide to asymmetric radical chemistry in EREDs, from postdoc alum Dr. Haigen Fu (now professor at the Institute of Medical Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences)! Out now in Acc. Chem. Res. ACS Publications. Congrats, Haigen! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Delighted to welcome Nina Hartrampf to Michigan Chemistry tomorrow (Friday) to tell us about her innovative work in peptide and protein synthesis! If you are in Ann Arbor, this is not a seminar to miss.

Great to have Prof. Roger Linington (The Natural Products Atlas) here Dept of Microbiology & Immunology @ the Univ of MI for a fantastic seminar visit today!

Many fantastic happenings in the Mapp Lab over the last two weeks, a 🧵

Both my group and Yang's group Yang Yang have demonstrated that nonheme iron enzymes can be engineered for enantioselective C(sp3)-F bond formation via iron-mediated radical fluorine transfer. Huge congratulations to the team led by postdoc Qun Zhao Zhao Qun , now a professor

A massive congratulations to Katelyn and Max!! Incredibly well deserved recognition for these two @umich Narayan Lab @ UMich scientists 💛 Katelyn Brown Max Unger 💙👏👏👏

Congratulations to Katelyn Brown and Max Unger for receiving NSF GRFP!!! We are so proud of you both 🤩

Highlighting the ACS Central Science article by Alison Narayan and co-workers Narayan Lab @ UMich

A quick little manuscript here where we developed a one-pot method to synthesize a key amino acid motif found in amanitin – chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

#MichiganChem professor Ginger Shultz and Shultz Group members Safron and Jeff visited Utqiaġvik, Alaska last week to collaborate with teachers and co-design culturally relevant curricula as a part of Professor Shultz's NSF CAREER-funded project!

Substrate-selectivity is the secret sauce that makes chemoenzymatic synthesis and total biocatalytic synthesis so powerful

Congrats to Ye, Katie Jane Torma and Josh on bringing this project to fruition! Narayan Lab @ UMich UMLifeSciences Michigan Chemistry ACS Central Science

Thank you for the feature! It was great speaking with Dept of Microbiology & Immunology @ the Univ of MI alum Madeline Barron, Ph.D. about my research and scientific journey 💙

👏🎉 Congratulations José Hernández-Meléndez for being selected for the ACS Pride-Merck Graduate Research Award!! Incredibly well deserved recognition, José is awesome in so many ways! Michigan Chemistry UMLifeSciences Narayan Lab @ UMich

Honored to have been selected for this award! #Biocatalysis

We are thrilled to present a new #enzyme to the world, the first shown to break the man-made carbon-silicon bonds in #siloxanes , which are persistent in the environment.
