So excited that our lab's first home-grown paper is now available on ChemRxiv!

Kinetic NMR screening: rapidly quantifying fast ligand dissociation in fragment mixtures using ¹⁹F relaxation dispersion | doi.org/10.26434/che... 🧲🧪

It was recorded so I think so - will let you know!

Celebrating the submission of my lab’s first fully home-grown paper 🥂 Appearing on @chemrxiv.org soon!

Looking forward to giving a webinar tomorrow with @nickynak3.bsky.social about our efforts to establish a 19F NMR fragment screening platform at UCL. Register below and join us to find out more!

Many congratulations Mirek and Tomáš - it was a pleasure to be a part of the day and I’ve come away knowing a lot more about Wnt!

The science marathon continues. 🏃
Straight off #EBBM2025, BryjaLab is co-organizing with Tripsianes’ lab at @ceitec.eu the Milestone Minisymposium on Cell Signalling, kicking off today with great talks by @chriswaudby.bsky.social & @michaelranes.bsky.social. More talks & two PhD defenses tomorrow 🎓

Two Bruker engineers installing the cooling rack on the SamplePro Tube liquid handler

Bruker SamplePro Tube liquid handler with the new cooling rack installed. The cover is open and the robot is lit by a blue LED strip.

Today we're having a cooling/heating rack installed into our NMR liquid handling robot! This should help keep protein and DNA samples stable during prep for our 19F fragment screening service #NMRchat

This is a great opportunity to join our group as PhD student to investigate the role(s) of intrinsically disordered proteins in biomedicine !

I'll be performing in the UCL Chamber Music Club's next concert, 5.30 pm on Wed 4th Dec. Come and join us for a programme of piano music for 2 and 4 hands spanning three continents. Admission is free and open to all.
