Sitting down with… Neil Dhawan

Drug Discovery World

ND : Totus has innovated three interdependent and fundamental technologies in chemistry, biology, and AI to enable screening of billions of candidate molecules against hundreds of targets in parallel. Second, we have created a novel DNA-tracking technology to analyse billions of molecular interaction in a cellular setting.

Reinventing the small molecule toolbox: from proteins to RNA

Dark Matter Blog

The bulk of my nearly three decades of experience up to that point was with drugging protein targets using a variety of modalities, but principally small molecules. And unproductive interactions between the RNA target and the DNA barcodes complicated DEL screening. Familiar tools to solve familiar problems with proteins.

Biology is a Burrito

Codon

1 One rarely pauses to ponder how so much DNA — let alone sugar, proteins, and everything else — can fit inside such a small vessel. Biochemistry textbooks depict cells as spacious places, where molecules float in secluded harmony. But with numbers, living cells come alive. If you placed one E.

But now, by studying DNA extracted from microbes in the blood of almost 10,000 healthy people, this paper shows that there is no such thing. Read Transcription factors bind to DNA and control gene expression. They tend to “group up” in cells. Molecular Systems Biology. Nature Microbiology. Meeussen J.V.W.

Women in STEM July: Meet Michelle Arkin

Drug Target Review

For my PhD project, I chose an advisor who worked on DNA and I started working with her on the physical properties of DNA. I worked with Jackie Barton in the early days of what’s now called DNA-mediated electron transfer. And that was a very controversial idea. And my answer to that has changed over the years.
