A big congratulations to the 2026 I. M. Kolthoff Award Winners! acsanalytical.org/2026/03/12/2...
This @acs.org award for undergraduate researchers supported 4 outstanding students (Damon Chan, Alex Szczepankiewicz, Katelyn Barnes, & Zane Alsebai) attending @pittcon.bsky.social and #ACSspring 2026
The complexity of glycoproteomics data creates a bottleneck in data interpretation and communication.
We (@timveth.bsky.social, @riley-research.bsky.social) built GlycoDiveR as a step toward bridging gaps between search-engine output and biological interpretation through #glycotime visualizations.
The mass range of tandem mass spectra can be categorized into three main regions. For glycopeptides, the lower mass range contains mainly oxonium ions, the middle range contains mainly peptide fragments, and the high range contains charge-reduced fragments. All regions contain valuable fragment ion information, but they can only be simultaneously accessed by breaking the 5–10–15 rule.
MS/MS scan range can be an afterthought that doesn't receive attention in method design, but improper settings can affect experimental outcomes. This is especially true in glycoproteomics.
A #glycotime thread about a new #JASMS paper on this idea from @riley-research.bsky.social

A month behind the times, but I wanted to share an update from @emmajays.bsky.social and other co-authors in @riley-research.bsky.social. Our manuscript "Profiling Glycoproteins Enriched by Multinanoparticle Protein Corona" is now published in Analytical Chemistry:
pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...
Do you know outstanding undergraduate researchers who could use up to $1,000 in travel funding to present their work at the Spring @acs.org or @pittcon.bsky.social Meetings?
Please encourage them to apply for a Kolthoff award! Deadline is Jan. 12, 2026.

Congratulations to Bill Noble on receiving the 2026 Gil Omenn Computational Proteomics Award from US HUPO!

Have fun with the poster presentation today @timveth.bsky.social!
@timveth.bsky.social is not only attending #SFG2025 - he helped organize Glycopalooza events for early career researchers and is presenting poster B10-110 Tuesday. Check it out in session 2 to hear his impressive work integrating bottom-up and top-down methods to define glycoproteoform heterogeneity
The overlap of #HUPO2025 with #SFG2025 this week means I’m missing out on the #glycotime fun at SFG in San Diego.
I am happy postdoc @timveth.bsky.social is able to represent @riley-research.bsky.social at SFG instead!
If you are at #HUPO2025 and want to see some recent work from @riley-research.bsky.social, come check out Kayla’s talk on Monday afternoon in the Glycoproteomics session in the Frontenac Ballroom!
My poster on our recent work informatics tools is on Monday afternoon too. See you there!
#glycotime
Our manuscript describing @riley-research.bsky.social's GlyCounter informatics tool is now in press at Molecular and Cellular Proteomics. Congrats to first-author Katie Kothlow, her first first-author paper!
The manuscript is available here: www.mcponline.org/article/S153...
Awesome to see GlyCounter at work!

Can nanoparticles help us probe the glycoproteome?
The new pre-print from @riley-research.bsky.social seeks to answer this question using the Proteograph technology from Seer Inc.
Check out this lovely study on glycoproteins NP-enriched from biofluids here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...
Have you wondered how nanoparticle protein coronas (e.g., Seer’s Proteograph XT) can help with glycoprotein enrichment in biofluids?
We were curious, too, and this new @riley-research.bsky.social pre-print led by outstanding postdoc @emmajays.bsky.social details our #glycotime investigations.
This was so much fun! It was great to present and meet other incredible undergraduates at #ASMS2025. A huge thank you to @riley-research.bsky.social group members for their unwavering encouragement and even bringing me food and water during the presentations!
@riley-research.bsky.social had a great time catching up with local research at the Cascadia Proteomics Symposium last week. The lineup featured talks from Katie Kothlow and Haley Schramm, and a lightning talk/poster from @emmajays.bsky.social
Congrats to Emmajay for her 2nd-place poster award too!
#ASMS2025
Come here about the latest in real-time instrument control including applications to single cell proteomics (@parallelsq.bsky.social), #glycotime, and quantitative proteomics!
#ASMS2025 offers great evening workshops. If you are interested in real-time decision-making during MS data acquisition or still looking for one to join,
consider the Real time Mass Spectrometry Workshop featuring speakers and panelists Sarah Sipe, Aarthie Senathirajah, and Manuel Peris Diaz.
Great to see #proudofalumni @nmriley.bsky.social on the @cenmag.bsky.social Talented 12 list! 🎉 🏆 Check out his #glycotime research program:
www.riley-research.com
Who's that T12-er? Nick Riley: "I was asking a lot more questions about the instrument than I was about the experiments."
@nmriley.bsky.social of @riley-research.bsky.social is pursuing better ways to study the biochemistry of sugars that decorate cell surfaces. He hopes that someday scientists could analyze these sugars en masse to infer the health of the cell. Read more: cen.acs.org/biological-c...
#CENT12 #chemsky🧪
@riley-research.bsky.social is excited for #ASMS2025 in Baltimore!
We made sure to capitalize on some of the classics, like a crab dinner at LP Steamers and an Orioles game, before the conference festivities kicked off.
Come hear what we have been up to!
We are lucky to have multiple people to celebrate in @riley-research.bsky.social recently. This time graduate student Kayla Markuson won 2 (!) @uwchemistry.bsky.social awards:
- Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award
- Excellence in Graduate Leadership and Service Award
Way to go Kayla!
I still can't quite believe I am included in the 2025 Searle Scholars cohort. Feeling especially thankful for all who have supported me. I am most excited about the science @riley-research.bsky.social gets to pursue and the support this award provides for my group
searlescholars.org/2025/04/14/s...
Truthfully, I am proud of all the @riley-research.bsky.social members who applied for the GRFP, both this year and last. These are highly competitive awards, and it is tough not to be selected, but the scientific and personal growth I see throughout the process is always impressive and inspiring.
Another proud PI post today 🎉 , this time celebrating one of our stellar undergraduate researchers, @vishnutejus.bsky.social.
Vishnu received the @asms.org Undergraduate Student Award to present his work on an updated spectral annotator at the annual conference in June.
Congrats Vishnu!
Congratulations to Chris McGann and Bo Wen on receiving graduate student awards at the 2025 ASMS Conference!
