Graduate students Shelby Auger, Kevin Park and Kiall Suazo presented their work at the National ACS Meeting in August. Shelby presented her poster entitled "Development of a norbornene containing analogue and its applications in the study of protein prenylation", Kevin gave an oral presentation entitled "DARPin-polymer conjugates prepared by enzymatic labeling and grafting-from polymerization for tumor-targeted imaging and drug delivery" and Kiall gave an oral presentation entitled "Metabolic labeling with an alkyne probe reveals similarities and differences in the prenylomes of multiple brain-derived cell lines". Those presentations were all given in the Biological Chemistry Division. Kevin gave a second presentation entitled "Quorum quenching enzymes site-specifically functionalized via protein farnesylation for visualization and surface immobilization" in the Biotechnology Division.
That meeting was originally planned to be held in San Francisco in a live format but was changed to a virtual meeting due to COVID-19.
