07.04.2025 Nucleic acid conjugates: remote control, targeting, and entirely new functions

The lecture of Prof. Michael Booth from University College London prompted a lively discussion.

On 1 April, we welcomed Michael Booth to RTG 2937, who is Associate Professor at University College London and who has only just been highlighted as a 2024 Rising Star in Biological, Medicinal, and Pharmaceutical Cehmistry by ACS Bio & Med Chem Au. With his team, he is using utilising techniques from organic/inorganic synthesis, chemical biology, biochemistry, synthetic biology, and molecular and cellular biology to develop next-generation nucleic acids and synthetic cells for biology and medicine. Michael talked about "Nucleic acid conjugates: remote control, targeting, and entirely new functions" in the SYNMIKRO lecture hall.

Thank you for the impulses you gave us, Mike! We hope you enjoyed your stay as much as we did.
