Right now I am in the middle of grant writing with my student Adam Zajdlik… The deadline is tomorrow and we are trying to get the last remaining items in order. This is a joint grant with Dr. Aaron Schimmer of the Princess Margaret Hospital here in Toronto. Our idea is to use boron-containing heterocycles as proteasome inhibitors. Adam has become quite a pro at making them. Plus we now have Victoria Corless in our team, which will provide further momentum to the effort. Due to this deadline I am not going to post my usual scientific blurb, but I am going to give you what I promised on Friday… Please bookmark the website that has a bit more information about the American Peptide Conference in 2015:
