🌟 Congratulations to Oli Curry on successfully passing her #PhDViva!
And many thanks to examiners Prof Emily Flashman and Dr Kate Harris for their time and input.
A fantastic achievement and cause for celebration! 🎉 #Congratulations #AchievementUnlocked #ChemicalBiology #PHD
The 2026 #EPSRC Molecular Sciences for Medicine (MosMed) CDT Conference brought together #PhD students, industrial and academic partners, and alumni.
Congrats to all the students - the quality of the research was outstanding, showcasing the breadth of #innovation and #collaboration within the CDT.
📢 New paper: exploring how JmjC demethylases do more than we once thought! Funded by CRUK and published in CHIMIA 🎉 Congrats to Dr Joanna Bonnici, and gratitude to Prof Christopher Schofield at the University of Oxford for his contributions. 👉 Read the full article: www.chimia.ch/chimia/artic...
The Kawamura Research Group will be taking part Newcastle University's #DiscoverFestival on Sat 13 June! 📅 🌟 To find out more about #DNA and #Epigenetics, visit our stand in the Lindisfarne Room. More information about the Discover Festival is now available online: www.ncl.ac.uk/discover-fest/
On #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate those who contributed to our seminar series, “Inspiring Women in #ChemicalBiology” sponsored by the Biochemical Society. Their talks showcased cutting-edge science - a great reflection of the #IWD2026 theme #GivetoGain!
🎉 Thrilled - our new Nature Chemistry paper identifying H3K9acOH, a new histone PTM formed by JmjC oxygenase KDM3A - revealing an O2‑dependent PTM in chromatin regulation. Congrats to CRUK KDM team in the Kawamura & Schofield groups & thanks to our amazing collaborators! 📄 rdcu.be/fdx4f #Epigenetics
This week we welcomed Dr Megan Wright from University of Leeds for our Inspiring Women in #ChemicalBiology series, sponsored by the Biochemical Society. Dr Wright delivered a fascinating talk on “Covalent chemical probes for in‑cell protein labelling.” A brilliant end to the series! #WomenInSTEM
🌿 Excited that NU Chemical Biology has achieved the #Gold LEAF Award! This is the highest level of recognition for sustainable laboratory practice - less than one year after earning our Silver Award. Here’s to even greener science ahead! 💚🔬
