Interested in heterologous expression of large numbers of biosynthetic gene clusters? My focus over the past years has been to try to make this process more scalable. Have a look at this new approach, I used it to discover a new antibiotic: conkatamycin nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Here is a preview of our new tool, microbeMASST! masst.ucsd.edu/microbemasst/ Users can search for known/unknown MS/MS spectra against a database of bacterial/fungal monocultures and map the results into a phylogenetic/taxonomic tree! We are looking to expand our tree 🦠🍄🌳

Ever wondered why some people are “mosquito magnets”? Thrilled to share my postdoc work mentored by @leslievosshall @RockefellerUniv @HHMINEWS. Please feast on this labor of love: >1k hrs in 80% humidity: literal buckets of blood(fed to mozzies),sweat & 500k mosquitoes’ tears!
