シーケンスによる代謝物の定量法(smol-seq)
標的代謝物が結合したときに構造が変化することでバーコードDNAを遊離するアプタマーをデザイン。バーコードをシーケンスすることで代謝物量を測定。高い特異性と多重検出能力を持ち、診断や治療応用にも期待ー面白いアイデアです

Delighted to share our paper describing a way to read levels of 100s of metabolites or drugs in parallel using DNA sequencing. This method which we call ‘smol-seq’ (Small MOLecule sequencing) harnesses the power of DNA sequencing for metabolite detection

Finally - we are now hiring multiple positions to bring this tech to reality. If you have aptamer experience or are a compbio person excited to learn how to predict aptamer-target interactions, please DM me!

Paying $13M for the repairs necessary to keep the Ontario Science Centre open through to 2034 would have been the equivalent of reducing the $200 pre-election handout cheques to $199.19.

#BREAKING: A pickup truck crashes into a TTC bus at high speed at Yonge/Finch leaving 8 people injured including driver of pickup who ran off but was arrested. The 7 people hurt on the bus include the bus driver. None of the injuries are life threatening.

This is aggressively stupid. It will accomplish nothing but to get people killed.
BREAKING: Ontario has just proposed regulations that would rip out bike lanes in Toronto on Bloor, University and Yonge:

There’s a lot of lies about what is happening in UK right now, many spouted by that evil imp Musk. Well THIS is what is happening: 1000s of ordinary people marching against the tiny minority of fascists that have been terrorizing the country. THIS makes me proud of the uk 👏

Hard to imagine a Kensington with no Ronnie’s, if you can, chuck a couple of loonies at them to help them dodge this bullet.

Delighted to see our paper finally out: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
It describes a large screen of natural products which finds a new family of species selective complex I inhibitors that have potential as new anthelmintics
The results we report are just the first of a series of hits from this screen -
we hope some of these will ultimately be new anti-parasitic drugs. It’s daunting to be trying to address such a massive global health problem but collaboration is always key!
