Very excited to be attending NOBCChE Official 2022 with Andrew Dorfeuille as reps for MIT Chemistry! Visit us at booth 109 for info on MIT Chemistry research opportunities, the PhD program, to enter our raffle, & more. You can also sign up to meet with faculty here: bit.ly/3dHU6DD

Sign up for our virtual house on next Tues-Fri to learn more about our department! A fantastic opportunity to talk to professors and students, especially for seniors applying this cycle and juniors/sophomores considering grad school post-undergrad.

Excited to share a pre-print of our work in the Kiessling Group describing interactions between human lectins and stool microbiota. Some highlights below: (1/4) x.com/biorxivpreprin…

Working with amazing scientists is a perk of academia. Today I am honoring all of the incredible #chemistry #WomenInScience in my group MIT Chemistry ... Happy #InternationalWomensDay #chemtwitter

Surprising finding that the function of heparan sulfate, a polysaccharide critical for human development, depends not only on sequence but also localization Deena Al Mahbuba with Ed Boyden and Linhardt group from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) @RPI in ACS Nano #glycotime pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Wow our lab is on fire! Congrats to Dr. Brown!

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!

Attention all Postdoctoral Researchers with contributions to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion! The 2023 Future Faculty Symposium will be held on August 22-23, and applications are open now through June 23. More information can be found at: chemistry.mit.edu/about/the-equi…

WE HAVE REACHED A FULL TENTATIVE AGREEMENT! Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) MOVED BECAUSE OF OUR STRIKE THREAT! UNION SECURITY, REAL RECOURSE, AND ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS WON!

Congratulations to our very own, Carolina Ortiz Cordero (@carolinaortizco), for this esteemed honor! We are excited to learn what you discover about glycans in cancer and neuromuscular disorders as an HHMI #HannaGrayFellow

Happy to have been part of such a smart, kind group of scientists who humored all my weird tangents (scientific and otherwise).

I’m so excited for this conference!! We have an amazing team of organizers and a powerhouse lineup of speakers. Mark your calendars for PoWER 2024! Feel free to reach out with any questions or interest in involvement #womeninstem

This hot-off-the-press publication is ~just right~ 🐻Check out our physical organic deep dive into the selectivity of squaric esters. Congrats to Katherine I. Taylor , Jordan, Hallie Trial , Alan Wylde Carter, and Laura Kiessling 🙌 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

A perfect stocking stuffer for your chemical biologist: This season, decorate your mannose with fluorophores to make them glow! Mannose-specific labeling using our biosynthetic incorporation strategy out in JACS now. Way to go, So_Young Lee & Victoria Marando! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations Deepsing Syangtan (he/him/his) 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

V. Lensch, Adele Gabba, R. Hincapie + Finn, The Jeremiah Johnson Group, Shalek Lab Kiessling Group + Irvine group members rev up anticancer immunity using glycan-coated virus-like particles to super-charge immune responses to tumors. Binding DC-SIGN is key. #glycotime biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Dr. Jill Alty, a postdoctoral researcher in the Kiessling Group has brought to life the PoWER conference (to be held July 11-12, 2024), the goal of which is to showcase polymer research conducted by women. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

Thanks, MIT Chemistry! I'm grateful that Julia Kalow shared this vision for how to amplify the voices of women & gender minorities in polymer science. Polymer Women Empowerment & Research Conference has been made possible w/ our wonderful team Helen Tran, Symone Alexander, Ph.D., Sara Orski 👩‍🔬 (she/her), & Katie Houston. Register now!

So excited to share with you work I've done with in Kiessling Group 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/10.110…
