Excited to highlight our latest preprint by graduate student Lauren Orr on the discovery of a covalent degradative handle that acts through two unique C173 and C178, on the E3 ligase DCAF16 that can be used to modularly design monovalent and bifunctional degraders. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

DCAF16-Based Covalent Degradative Handles for the Modular Design of Degraders
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is a powerful strategy for targeting and eliminating disease-causing proteins. While heterobifunctional Proteolysis-Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are more modular, th...

Interested in small molecule mechanism? If you’re at #ACSSpring2025, stop by the Eli Lilly Symposium Wed 9am–12pm @ Room 31A in the convention center. Cool talks from @michael-erb.bsky.social, Yuh Min Chook & @xiaoyuzhang.bsky.social. I’ll discuss our program on chemical genomics. Come check it out!

🧪 Ready, set, degrade! So proud to share our work in the @jclinical-invest.bsky.social, establishing a versatile approach for creating transgenic dTAG mice to degrade oncoproteins. We showcase that KRAS G12V degradation triggers antitumor immunity in lung cancer. Link: www.jci.org/articles/vie...
