Today is the international "you have 0 unread emails" day! (celebrated by various academics worldwide once a year around this time in summer). For reviewers who don't believe me, see Figure 1 below:

From the University of Alberta, Canadian Peptide Protein Community CPPC student representative ARUNIKA EKANAYAKE wins an oral presentation award at the American Peptide Society symposium! #peptides2022 UAlberta Chemistry Derda Lab

Big up to Tracy (Chih Lan) Lin Tracy Lin, Mirat Sojitra, Eric Carpenter and others Derda Lab with @MatthewMacaule4 and Todd L. Lowary for release of the new Liquid N-Glycan Array (LiGA) made via Chemoenzymatic Synthesis. Check it out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out this article on our collaboration with the Macauley and Hubbard labs! Thanks to Hansol and everyone for their hard work on the project! crisprmedicinenews.com/news/multiplex… Basil P. Hubbard, PhD Hansol Park @MatthewMacaule4

Interesting reading pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Congratulations to our superstar undergrad Ryan for winning the best oral presentation award at the #wcucc2023!!! Very well deserved for all his hard work and dedication.

I do rather like this one. #scRNAseq

Big shout out to all collaborators on a paper that finally came out in Nature Communications with Will Pomerantz Yu-Shan Lin @MatthewMacaule4 qic.ai , Lela Vukovic, Vederas Lab and many contributors from Derda Lab Jeff Wong ARUNIKA EKANAYAKE nature.com/articles/s4146…

I'm curious about any feedback from #Glycobiology #glycan #carbohydrate #glycotime community on Derda Lab preprint on DNA-encoded liquid #lectin arrays (LiLA). [LiLA] non-lineary amplifies detection of compositional differences of the cellular #glycocalyx biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Apologies: ran out of characters: BIG thanks to @MatthewMacaule4 Lab @JameZeynab + Eddie @glycocode Lara Mahal, Claire Yang+Justine Lai in Raymond Lai's Lab (UofA Oncology), Gisele Monteiro, super-alumnus Mirat Sojitra and of course, the fearless leader: Guilherme Meira Lima

Calling all Chemical Biologists in Canada and beyond. Submit your abstracts to the Canadian Society Conference (CSC) in June 2024. Deadline Extended to Feb 6. Check out the Chemical Biology session organized by myself and Fred Menard (UBC) cheminst.ca/conference/can…

DNA-encoded, Liquid Glycan Array (LiGA) and its application to cell-surface profiling is out in Nature Protocols . Big thanks to Mirat Sojitra for leading the effort and @MatthewMacaule4 + members of Macaluley Lab and Derda Lab ! rdcu.be/dXaNJ

I finally know how it feels like to own a Ferrari. Every morning my email goes from 0 to 60 unread emails in 2.4 seconds.. sends shivers down my spine

Next at #SFG2024 Ratmir Derda talks about is liquid arrays to study glycan-lectin interactions, e.g., effect of ligand density on Siglec binding or effect of high expression of a lectin on a cell line. Also detection of glycan ligands or lectins binding to tissues in a mouse.

Congratulations to Kejia Yan Kejia Yan the lead on the most complex and comprehensive Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS) publications from Derda Lab to date. Big thanks to 48Hour Discovery and Dustin Maly Lab for their contribution. See "late stage reshaping" paper at doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4…

Congrats to GlycoNet Investigator, Dr. Matthew Macauley from @Ualberta, the 2025 X-Chem Research Excellence Award winner! His work on Siglec-glycan interactions is advancing immune system research. Read more: canadianglycomics.ca/glyconet-inves… #glycotime #Glycoimmunology #Immunology

To distract everyone from the devastating NIH news, I recommend reading this Mirror Image Life discussion in Science magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… or popular press cbc.ca/radio/thecurre… and our view on this topic: TLDR: do not forget about Glycans! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Wow

"Later but Better" -- nice title for this highlight of our work (thank you, Guoqing Jin!) nature.com/articles/s4157…
