Honored to host our dept. symposium! 🎉 Prof. Carlito Lebrilla (UC Davis) shared amazing work on sugars in cancer & human milk. We welcomed new grad students with posters + reception, and celebrated Dr. Fuad Usman (Dow) with our Distinguished Alumni Award! #glycotime #chemistry
You know the fall semester is about to start when #wsuchemistry holds its annual Gopal Singhal Symposium and poster show. Many thanks to keynote speaker was Professor Carlito Lebrilla for sharing his research on chemoglycomic tools. #glycotime

Great science presented this week. Lifesaving translational applications are rapidly emerging from years of basic glycoscience research. Thank you Jen Kohler and @XingChen_PKU for organizing! Hope to see everyone again and the 2027 meeting and in 2029 too.
Heading home now after a great week of science and outdoor activities, while meeting old and new friends. Looking forward to chairing with @SteSuch the next #GRCCarbohydrateChemistry 2029 meeting. Hope to see many of you there!

Thank you, Robb @RobertPdeVries1 and Balthasar @baheesters, for being excellent hosts for a springtime visit to the Utrecht Institute for Pharmaceutical Sciences. I had a fantastic time catching up with @TheBoonsGroup and the many, many #glycotime researchers working @UUUIPS

Great to hear from our own @CharlieFehl at today’s Frontiers lecture. He talked about his research about aberrant glycosylation patterns in hyperglycemic disease: tools and targets. #wsuchemistry #glycotime #chemistryindetroit @FehlLab

The @FehlLab has been selected for the Michigan Diabetes Research Center pilot award to study how inhibiting aberrant glycosyltransferase activity can reduce insulin resistance and restore insulin sensitivity in diabetic animal models. #wsuchemistry #glycotime #ResearchInDetroit

Congrats Mike @PetrielloLab on this awesome project! We’re excited to support the #glycotime implications of preterm birth exposure to toxins like #PFAS
Researchers examine links between bacterial infections, environmental pollution & preterm birth is complex & requires an interdisciplinary team including @waynestate’s Dr. Mor, Drs. Doug Ruden and Katherine Gurdziel & #wsuchemistry’s @CharlieFehl. today.wayne.edu/medicine/new…

We @FehlLab had a great time at this year’s Midwest Carbohydrate and Glycobiology Symposium! Thanks to Jim @janetka20 and Cristina De Mel for organising @WashUChem. Congrats to Garry and Abigail on their awesome poster talks! #glycotime
Three #wsuchemistry graduate students & a postdoc were recognized for delivering outstanding presentations at the Midwest Carbohydrate Glycobiology Symposium this past weekend. Congratulations to Leila Almounajed, Garry Leonard, and April Sweet Tapayan! #ChemBio #MCGS #glycotime

We had a great time hosting #wsuchemistry alum Dr. @may_khanna. She shared her research on structural biology and drug discovery work on TDP-43. A fun fact about Dr. Khanna - she started the graduate seminars at WSU Chem! A true inspiration and innovator, thank you for visiting.
