Uncovering bacterial pseudaminylation with pan-specific antibody tools - Nature Chemical Biology Pseudaminic acids (Pse) are a family of carbohydrates found within bacterial lipopolysaccharides, capsular polysaccharides and glycoproteins. Now, monoclonal antibodies have been developed that recogn...

The countdown is on! With GIA2025 less than 3 weeks away, we’d like to introduce our Keynote Speakers that we will have the privilege of hosting this year. First is Dr. Sriram Neelameghan from the University at Buffalo whose lab studies the area of Systems Glycobiology. @neel-lab.bsky.social

UBC enzyme technology clears first human test toward universal donor organs for transplantation - UBC News UBC-developed enzymes successfully converted a kidney to universal type O for transplant, marking a major step toward faster, more compatible organ donations.

Just on time for my intro lecture on #glycotime in 3D ⤵️🎉

The first successful human transplant of a kidney converted from blood type A to universal type O used special enzymes developed by the team led by Prof Stephen Withers and Prof Jayachandran Kizhakkedathu at UBC

Trump administration blocks NIH from awarding any research grants and contracts The order applies to the entirety of new and, possibly, ongoing research grant dollars that go to universities and academic medical centers.

“… immediately halt the issuing of research grants, research and development contracts, and training awards during a “pause” of unspecified duration. “
