Congratulations! Valerie Kadenbach wins the Best Poster Award at the Frontiers in Medicinal Chemistry (FiMC) annual meeting 2026 in Münster.
In a great collaboration with the Ziebuhr Lab and the Wolf Lab, we have developed a Direct-to-Biology (D2B) pipeline for the discovery of potent S. aureus TrmD inhibitors.
Check out the recent publication in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry: Nanoscale Direct-to-Biology Optimization and Structural Insights into Selective S. aureus TrmD Inhibitors
We are thrilled to announce a publication hat-trick from the group! Three of our latest studies have just been published in iScience, RSC MedChem, and Communications Chemistry. We warmly thank all team members and collaboration partners whose dedication made this achievements possible.
Check out our most recent publication in Angewandte Chemie:
Nanomole Scale Screening of Fluorescent RNA-Methyltransferase Probes Enables the Discovery of METTL1 Inhibitors
In the course of this invention, we are happy to share our developed MTase probes with fellow RNA researchers:
