Excited to announce the launch of the Wisnovsky Lab @ubcpharmacy! We will be using genomic screening tools to study glycan function in cell biology and disease.
We're looking for researchers of all experience levels to join the group, see wisnovskylab.ca if interested!

Glycans regulate T cell function.
This statement is simple but it keeps me up at night — which glycans? On which cells? When? Do mechanisms translate across mice and humans?
To address this, we have curated 'A Unified Atlas of T cell Glycophysiology' tinyurl.com/y7aru4k4

Check out my new preprint! I uncovered details about how a protein, Gal1, is internalized into cells and showed that we can use this as an alternative to ASGPR to deliver siRNAs! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
