Pneumocandin paper was published in ACS Chemical Biology

Our latest publication about pneumocandin biosynthesis in collaboration with Dr. Gerald Bills at the University of Texas was accepted to ACS Chemical Biology.  This work revealed the mechanism of product release from lipid synthesizing PKS, and its application to create pneumocandin analogs.  Anna performed 1,3-glucan synthase inhibition assays of the structurally novel pneumocandin analogs.

Welcome, Hilda

Dr. Hilda Sucipto joined the lab as a postdoc fellow.  Hilda graduated from the Rolf Müller lab with an outstanding achievements in understanding the biosynthesis of myxopyronin, an antibacterial antibiotics with novel mode of action.  In our lab, Hilda will work on antifungal antibiotics biosynthesis and their engineering.  Welcome and let’s enjoy exciting science together!!
