At @UTDallasChemBio, we design & develop novel chemo-biosynthetic strategies for the discovery and asymmetric synthesis of biologically active molecules
Excited to share our paper just published in @J_A_C_S on a new biocatalytic strategy for asymmetric cyclopropanation using dibromoalkanes as non-diazo carbene precursors! Congrats to the entire team @UTDallasChemBio@UT_Dallas 👏👏

Congratulations to Aakash Pal @AakashPal15785 for passing his PhD candidacy exam with flying colors earlier this month! His first paper from our group has just been accepted for publication in JACS and so it is a double celebration! Way to go, Aakash! 👏 👏
Congrats to now Dr. Michelle Hendricks on earning her PhD degree! 🎓👏 Michelle has led excellent research on macrocyclic peptides for therapeutic applications and been an invaluable member of our lab! Best wishes for your new job at MSD. We’ll miss you, Michelle - go shine!🌟
We’re hiring postdocs to engineer & evolve peptide/protein therapeutics. Experience in display technologies, peptide/protein chemistry, and/or protein engineering/comput design required. Apply at jobs.utdallas.edu/postings/3… and email me with CV and cover letter
Congratulations to our Pamela (now Dr. Pamela Agredo Sanin) for earning her PhD degree in Chemistry this past week! 👏 👏 Pamela has developed new strategies for the design and evolution of macrocyclic peptides for therapeutic applications! Congrats, Dr. Agredo! 🎉🎉
Kudos to our UG students and summer interns for doing a fantastic job at presenting their research at the SPUR Symposium @UT_Dallas! From left: Tanish Shetty, Sophie Zamora, Joshua Legawa, Aliza Sheikh (Clark Fellow), Bolutife Odunuga (Clark Fellow), and John Cooley (REU)👏👏
Job alert! We are looking to hire an Associate Director for the Center for High Throughput Reaction Discovery & Synthesis Center (HT-RDS; ht-rds.utdallas.edu/) @UT_Dallas Interested candidates should apply at: jobs.utdallas.edu/postings/3…
X Excited to have shared our science at the 5th iCHAT conference in beautiful Villa Mondragone near Rome. Great combination of cutting-edge science, warm atmosphere, and amazing location. Kudos to Massimo Bietti and the other organizers for putting together a great event!👏
Congrats to newly minted Dr. Bo Couture for earning his PhD degree in Chemistry @UTDallasChemBio !!👏 Bo has developed new biocatalytic strategies for stereoselective C(sp3)-H functionalization via carbene transfer. Congrats Bo and best luck with your career in pharma!
Our best congratulations to our Andrew (now Dr. Andrew Hong) for defending his PhD thesis with flying colors this week! 🎉 🎉 Andrew will now return to the U Rochester Medical Center for resuming his medical training toward his MD/PhD degree. PhD#20 from the Fasan group!
Congrats to our Ron, now Dr. Adukure, for defending his PhD thesis today! 🎉 🎉 Very proud of you and your accomplishments 👏 and wish you continued success for the next step in your career!
Honoring the exceptional women in the @FasanLab at @UT_Dallas whose insight, dedication, and curiosity elevate our work every day! Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science to Anwita, Francesca, Michelle, Pamela, Ru, Shreya, Sophie, and Zoe! 🎉
A great visit by Prof. Yi Lu at UT Austin as our departmental seminar speaker this past week! We really enjoyed hearing about his group's exciting work in the design of artificial enzymes and DNA-based sensors for diagnostics. Inspiring science and great discussion!
Delighted to share our publication in @NatureComms on the computational design of generalist carbene transferases with tailored, stereodivergent selectivity! Great collab with Sagar Khare! Kudos to Zhuofan, Mary, and Xinkun and all other coauthors!
