MACKAY & MATTHEWS LAB

Protein structure, function and engineering

Belated – and double – congratulations to Karishma for (a) being awarded the ATA Scientific Lorne Travel Award at the recent Thompson Prize afternoon held by the Sydney Protein Group, and (b) winning an ECR award from the Drug Discovery Initiative at USyd for her 2020 paper describing the use of RaPID mRNA display to discover cyclic peptides that bind to BET family bromodomains with high affinity and specificity – you can read it here:

This has been one of the coolest projects the lab has been involved in and hopefully a lot more exciting things to come out of it…
