Our recent preprint on transliterating between XNA and DNA libraries is now out @ChemRxiv chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…
Congrats to Elizabeth, Luca, and Savreet on a productive summer research experience! Thanks to YSSA and NSERC USRA for support!
New preprint from our lab in collaboration with Andy Bannister and @TKLABUK. Using PhOxi-seq we identify m2G sites within the human transcriptome.

Exceptionally proud of Hili Group alumni, Areeba and Nicole, for receiving the prestigious Faculty of Science Gold and Silver Medals!! Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement!
Well done Sarah Pullano, Areeba Chaudhry, and Nicole Frias! These three students received the Faculty of Science Gold and Silver Medals at the Spring Convocation Ceremony yesterday! yorku.ca/science/2023/06/23/… | #YorkUConvo
Big night at the @CICToronto awards! Congrats to CIC Silver Medal recipients @nicolefrias21 (biochemistry) and @AlexAkhundov (chemistry) on their well-deserved awards!!
We have an opening for a #chempostdoc in medicinal chemistry @YorkUniversity for a @SRC_CRS funded project to develop small-molecule inhibitors against proteins involved in epitranscriptome regulation. See attachment for details. Position is available immediately. Please RT.
Just a reminder that applications for our Assistant Professor position in Biological Chemistry are due on October 15th!
York University @YorkUChem is hiring an Assistant Professor in Biological Chemistry. Come join our dynamic and collaborative department! Details here: webapps.yorku.ca/academichir… #chemjobs
Grateful to @SRC_CRS and their donors for supporting our work with @hansenhe7 and @pmcancercentre on developing m6A demethylase inhibitors as cancer treatments
ALL-TIME RECORD | We are proud to award 90  new research grants valued at $10.8 million as part of our annual competition. The grants are awarded to some of the most promising cancer research projects in Canada. 🎉🔬
