It's Syndecan-1!
So proud and excited for this work to be out in the world, and to share co-first authorship with Tim. Gotta edit 'em all! #glycotime #teamXylose? nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

Thinking of a PhD investigating GAGs in early mammalian development? Fabulous PhD on offer here with @da40cambs in Liverpool. You would get to work with our #glycoweb network and all the support we can offer. PIs, please pass on to interested potential students!

We have a fully-funded PhD project available to study the role of glycosaminoglycans on early mammalian development using mouse embryonic stem cells and 3D Gastruloids as a model system. Come and apply! It will be fun! findaphd.com/phds/project/a-…

Chenxin Li, pulled together a lot of great advice for data visualization, with clear "do this, not that" examples for each item.
Here are a few of my favorites, see the link below for more.

Delighted to share our new article, together with Salome Pinho, Ines Alves and Joana Gaifen, highlighting the role of glycans and glycan-binding proteins in creating immune regulatory networks common to infection and autoimmunity.

Remember to register free for our next #FrontRow lecture, April 19. @HuangMia will discuss how vital sugar molecules in the body called #glycans are exploited in various disease states, and how modifying them holds promise for new diagnostics & treatments scrippsresearch.zoom.us/webi…

"You can find the role models you are looking for."
2022 chemistry laureate @CarolynBertozzi shares an important message to all who don't see themselves represented in mainstream science. Who is your role model?
