Vaccines made once-deadly diseases rare, so medical training moved on. I’ve treated these diseases & seen the harm. Now as vaccines are undermined we must prepare doctors for diseases of yesterday—before they become today’s crises. My latest for @statnews.com 👇 www.statnews.com/2026/01/12/m...

Run for tomorrow - donate.kuleuven.cloud/crowdfunding... You may know that I am an avid runner, for >35 years. The older, the more motivated I became. Last year, I ran my first full marathon. When I crossed the finish line, I thought: "This was the toughest thing I’ve ever done (beside a PhD)."

Sometimes, more is accomplished by taking a break, self-reflecting, and going back to the drawing board. Remember, you don’t have to do it alone. Sharing your ideas can bring clarity and support.

Had a great time at #ABPP2025! Great to see so many former lab members and their students and postdocs. Awesome venue and program. Looking forward to ABPP2027 in Leiden and then Ben Cravatt and I will try to bring it to California!

🚀 Our new #preprint is out! We developed a phage display platform for fast, direct screening of unnatural macrocyclic peptide substrates, enabling the discovery of highly selective protease substrates for imaging and therapeutic applications. Check it out! doi.org/10.1101/2025... 📄🔗 #ChemBio

Macrocyclic phage display for identification of selective protease substrates
Traditional methods for identifying selective protease substrates have primarily relied on synthetic libraries of linear peptides, which offer limited sequence and structural diversity. Here, we prese...
