Joel part of largest LIEF grant for 800

A consortium headed by Gottfried Otting and Joel was recently awarded $1.53M from the ARC's large equipment grant fund (LIEF). This grant, which was the largest of its kind, will allow the purchase of an 800 MHz NMR spectrometer equipped with a cryosystem. The instrument will be situated at the Research School of Chemistry at ANU and the University of Sydney will have ~20-25% of the measurement time. This will be a tremendous boost to our capabilities, allowing the recording of full datasets in substantially reduced times, as well as greatly improving signal-to-noise over the current instrumentation.

NIH funding for lab

A team comprising Merlin Crossley (USyd), Andrew Perkins (Monash) and Joel was awarded an NIH R01 grant (~AUD1.2M) to study the repression of fetal gamma globin.

Wanted: postdoc biochemist/structural biologist to work with Richard Payne, Sydney/US startup INSAMO (and me). Goal: use cyclic peptide mRNA display to design cell-permeable peptide-based protein degraders: https://usyd.wd105.myworkdayjobs.com/USYD_EXTERNAL_CAREER_SITE/job/Darlington-Campus/Postdoctoral-Researcher-in--Peptide-Based-Drug-Discovery_0131612-1
