In our chem bio research groups, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and make a difference. Special thanks to all the women in our group and @kawamuragroup.bsky.social for their contributions to the field of science! #IDWGS2025 #womeninscience

Yesterday, after 34+ years of excellence in teaching & research, Dr Julian Knight gave his last organic lecture at Newcastle. Then this happened...😍 Thanks so much to Julian, and all the staff and students that turned out to wish him well in his retirement! #WeAreNCL

New paper out today from the lab on Akkermansia muciniphila 🦠and how it breaks down host glycans! Very proud of my group, especially @cassiebakshani.bsky.social who did an amazing job. @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Late posting this but back in December we had our annual Christmas Symposium with the @kawamuragroup.bsky.social (recently joined bsky). Great morning of science followed by an afternoon of festive fun. Feels a long time ago now!

Popped into #spudfest with some of the Kawamura group (not yet on bsky) for some potato wedges, potato soup and freebie potatoes grown on the @newcastleuni.bsky.social farms as part of ongoing research in @sciencesncl.bsky.social 🧪

The RSC Chemical Biology and Bioorganic Group is now on Bluesky and delighted to be here! We're really looking forward to keeping you all updated with the latest events and news from our community, across the UK and internationally. Spread the word to those you know, and give us a follow! #chembio

Know anyone interested in studying for a PhD? Fully funded PhD position to establish Thermus Thermophilus as a bacterial strain for biocatalysts. Deadline on the 11th December 2024! International applicants are welcome to apply www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Huge congratulations to Lee Higham, Toni Carruthers & Fabio Cucinotta, and the whole team from @sciencesncl.bsky.social @newcastleuni.bsky.social and partners! 🎉 Richly deserved for all their hard work in raising employability of chemistry undergraduates #RSCprizes www.rsc.org/prizes-fundi...

Things are getting busy on here #glycotime and #chembio. Looking forward to being part of the thriving online research community. Watch this space for some new papers coming soon

Had a great group Christmas Meal on Thursday at My Delhi in Newcastle. The group’s getting bigger!
