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

Great to have you in the department! I can’t wait for the great science to come
Honoured to be cross-appointed to @ImmunologyUofT. With the triple threat of pharmacology, chemistry, and immunology, the lab is in an ideal position to cross field boundaries and forge important new collaborations.
