We are grateful for a 1.8M S10 grant from NIH through for upgrading a 600 MHz NMR with a new magnet and the most advanced solid-state cyroprobe. This enhancement will significantly boost our capability to analyze cellular samples of pathogens. @MSUChem @MSUNatSci

So happy to celebrate Isha’s graduation 🎓 An incredible journey comes to a beautiful milestone! We had a wonderful farewell dinner as a lab, sharing memories, laughter, and pride in all she has accomplished.
Wishing you all the success and happiness in your next chapter!!

So proud of Aswath Karai for earning the Goldwater Scholarship!
An incredible undergraduate researcher in our lab, doing outstanding work on fungal cell wall structure using ssNMR being recognized. A well-deserved achievement! @MSUChem @MSUNatSci

Another important study on JACS: we have relied on the sensitivity of DNP to track the incorporation of Phe and Tyr into lignin network in the grass cell wall of Brachypodium and understand biosynthetic pathway. #PlantBiology #nmrchat @MSUChem @MSUNatSci

In collaboration with Nishiyama and Xu groups, we combined the use of solid-state NMR and X-ray to determine the structural organizations of cellulose, xylan, and lignin in wheat straw and provide a unified model. #nmrchat @MSUChem @MSUNatSci

First time at #Fungal26. Great to finally meet many long-time collaborators in person. Isha gave a talk on Aspergillus cell wall and stress adaptation, and Tuo gave two talks on zygosporic fungi and antifungal-induced remodeling.

New review article on the solid-state NMR stuidies of fungal and plant cell walls @TheCellSurface. #nmrchat Thanks @neil_gow for highlighting the article. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Excellent new review led by Tuo Wang on how solid state NMR is transforming our understanding of fungal cell wall organisation.
