Worked on this paper with Joe out in ACS Chemical Biology.
We developed and evaluated AAP, an ALDH1A1 activated photosensitizer that stays OFF until it encounters ALDH1A1 in tumor cells and light, to enable precise localized photo toxicity!

Donor-PeT Control of Intersystem Crossing Enables ALDH1A1-Activated Photodynamic Therapy
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is highly expressed in therapy-resistant and metastatic cancers and represents a clinically relevant biomarker for selective activation strategies. We report AAP, ...

Organelles do NOT have a single uniform pH.
And if you think they must, because “protons diffuse fast,” this paper is for you.
A thread on why that assumption is wrong; and what we found instead. 🧵 1/n

I think this will be a perfect first post for #chemsky
Really grateful to the Beckman Foundation for the Graduate Research Fellowship Award. I am excited to work on using ultrasound for designing activatable theranostics! Here's the recent news article:
