Really enjoying Alessio Ciulli’s talk at #AACR25 this afternoon

Undisclosed location

One of my favorite things about conferences is connecting with colleagues and friends from across the years — here’s a smattering of connections from this week #AACR25

Next up at #AACR25 New Drugs on the Horizon, AZ just unveiled their KRAS-G12D inhibitor

The last New Drugs on the Horizon session is underway at #AACR25. GSK & Ideaya just dropped the structure of their WRN helicase inhibitor

Spotted in the #AACR25 exhibit hall “Excuse me, sir, where is your badge?” 🐦

New KRAS-G12V inhibitor RMC-5127 from Revolution Medicines next up at #AACR25 New Drugs on the Horizon

New Helios degrader from BMS at #AACR25 New Drugs on the Horizon

New dual-targeting (PSMA & STEAP1) ADC from AbbVie just unveiled at #AACR25 New Drugs on the Horizon

New Drugs on the Horizon is underway at #AACR25. Brian Lanman from Amgen kicks it off with a new pan-KRAS inhibitor

A couple of snippets from the #AACR25 educational sessions today: some perhaps counterintuitive ADC insights from Greg Thurber and Raffaele Colombo, new roads into Myc from the Moellering lab, and the latest from the Nomura lab. Great first day!

The walking… it begins

Let’s goooo I’m in the air and on my way to Chicago for #AACR25 Roll call: who’s going?

Probing the E3 Ligase Adapter Cereblon with Chemical Biology

We’re just a few days out from the start of #AACR25 - a big conference highlight of the year for me. As usual, the centerpiece for the chemists will be the New Drugs on the Horizon sessions, with an exciting lineup of first-time clinical candidate disclosures. Check it out, and see you in Chicago!

Deubiquitinase-Targeting Chimeras (DUBTACs) as a Potential Paradigm-Shifting Drug Discovery Approach

Discovery of a VHL molecular glue degrader of GEMIN3 by Picowell RNA-seq

Spring break trip is in the bag. Most important stop was on the way home, now enjoying on the deck since it’s our first decent day of the year

Boston/Cambridge friends get a bonus point if they know where I took this from

Discovery of a Series of Covalent Ligands That Bind to Cys77 of the Von Hippel–Lindau Tumor Suppressor Protein (VHL)

Good morning from my backyard in Connecticut, where it’s currently Saturday, February 72nd

Identification of a non-inhibitory aptameric ligand to CRL2ZYG11B E3 ligase for targeted protein degradation

This closing of the talent spigot will reverberate for years to come - so disheartening all around

Linker-Determined Folding and Hydrophobic Interactions Explain a Major Difference in PROTAC Cell Permeability

One of these days, I’m going to do some forensics and find patient zero for the inclusion of “importantly” in scientific manuscripts. It’s like an endemic disease today. I guarantee we’re gonna find one or a few founder labs that had PIs full of themselves somewhere in the musty past.
