Our lab had a well deserved summer break – Go karting, team bonding & partying with lots of beer, pizza & sunshine.
Latest paper has just been published in Nature Catalysis
The Micklefield Lab’s latest paper has just been published in Nature Catalysis. The paper describes the discovery of a new biosynthetic pathway, with a highly unusual carboxylase enzyme (MloH), producing a structurally unique antibiotic malonomycin. The new findings might lead to the discovery of new antibiotics and may also provide new ways of making antibiotics which are urgently needed to combat emerging drug-resistant pathogens.
Visiting Professorship at the East China University of Science and Technology
Jason Micklefield received a Visiting Professorship at the East China University of Science and Technology from Professor Yingping Zhuang the Dean of the Faculty of Bioengineering. He will use the position to consolidate collaborations with Professor Lixin Zhang’s group at ECUST and other laboratories in China.
