So excited to share with you work I've done with in @KiesslingGroup now out on Biorxiv! Here, we were deciphered how native mucus cultivates and retains probiotics using synthetic polymers, leveraging the information to design new prebiotics. Check it out! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Congratulations @dsyangta Dr. Deepsing Syangtan on his big degree! His research that spanned from glycan roles in stem cell fate decisions to the gut microbiome was tied together beautifully in yesterday's defense. We will miss you greatly! #glycotime

Happy to have been part of such a smart, kind group of scientists who humored all my weird tangents (scientific and otherwise).
Congratulations to Dr. Katherine I. Taylor! Katherine elegantly tied together her thesis work on the chemoenzymatic synthesis of galactofuranose polymers and lysine reactive squarate probes—The group surprised her with her favorite molecules in stained glass form!

Our purely chemical approach (shout-out to my wonderful collaborator Clair Gutierrez from the Raines lab) for turning proteins “ON” and “OFF” is finally out! The generality of this strategy was highlighted with three examples - lysozyme, cytochrome c, and HIV protease!

This is a Gang Liu stan account ONLY 🤩 #GangLiuCanFixIt #CallGangLiu
RAK Week Shout Out to Gang Liu: Is there any lab equipment this man can't fix? I've heard of him fixing computers, biotages, milliQ systems, GPCs, centrifuges, and more. He's so helpful and definitely deserves a shout out! #RAKWeekShoutOut
