It’s a bird!… It’s a plane!… no… It’s the latest—
LIAU LAB BLOG POST !!!
Did you miss us? It’s been a hectic year for us, but we are so excited to share the work we’ve been up to. We’ve had a lot of things in the works and 2022 is shaping out to be the year that we unleash the flood on the scientific community. Ready or not, here we come!
Keen followers of our website might have noticed some changes recently. We’ve revamped our website, for starters, and what’s more, we’ve dropped some new publications. Let’s take a quick stroll through them…

But first of all we have an important announcement to make. The big man himself has finally joined the twittersphere! Help us get him to 1,000 followers (or at least to another fun number before that)!

Now back to what you’re here for. Without further ado, here are our lab’s peer-reviewed publications from the past year! Click on the pictures to go to the journal site.
The exciting sequel to 2019’s Park et al. paper! We synthesized improved cycloheximide derivatives and collaborated with the Shao lab to perform cryo-EM characterization. A multidisciplinary study spearheaded by Yumi and Eileen.
Drug resistance sounds scary but it’s actually been a driving force for biological discovery. Ally wrote an insightful review on the history of drug resistance alleles and their utility for science moving forward.
Our New Year’s present to the chemical biology community in the form of CRISPR-suppressor scanning with molecular glue degraders. Sounds like a sticky problem, right? But it was no match for Pallavi, Kevin, and the rest of the team!
But wait, there’s more! We have not one, not two, not even three, but four additional stories out on bioRxiv as of today. They’ll be out in journals sometime soon* but if you’re dying to take a look, click on the images below!
*soon: sometime in the next decade, probably (you know how peer review is)
Finally, we are proud to say that all three of our CCB grad students this year passed their PQEs (preliminary qualifying exams) with flying colors! We celebrated with some champagne, though not without some technical difficulties…
Congratulations to Megan, Olivia, and Nicholas!
Anyway, that’s all for today! Keep your eyes peeled for more exciting Liau Lab work just around the corner….!
