This month we were delighted to host Dr Megan Wright from the University of Leeds for the final talk in our Inspiring Women in Chemical Biology seminar series, proudly supported by the Biochemical Society.
Dr Wright delivered an engaging and insightful presentation titled “Covalent chemical probes for in‑cell protein labelling”, offering a window into how her group designs and applies innovative chemical tools to study biological mechanisms directly within native cellular environments. Her work highlights the power of covalent strategies to illuminate complex protein function with precision and creativity.
This seminar was a fantastic conclusion to the series, showcasing not only impactful science but also inspiring leadership within the chemical biology community. Dr Wright’s clarity, enthusiasm, and thoughtful discussion made for a memorable and thought‑provoking session.
A huge thank you to Dr Wright – and all of the other female speakers who joined us at Newcastle University – for rounding off the series with such an excellent talk.
