🧠Neuroscientist specializing in 🔬 super-resolution microscopy
exploring #glycobiology 🍭 to broaden understanding of cellular processes.
Sharing insights on:
- our #research,
- notable studies by peers,
- and the intersection of 🎨 #art & 🧬 #science.
Glycan Atlassing – another exciting work on the nanoscale organization of the glycocalyx! This approach enables the distinction of different cancer states.
GLYCAN ATLASSING: NANOSCALE ANALYSIS OF GLYCOCALYX ARCHITECTURE ENABLES FUNCTIONAL TRACING OF CELL STATE 🍭🔬🧬
Don’t judge a book by its cover - judge a cell by its cover! We can now trace how cell state is encoded in glycocalyx state. #glycotime #microscopy

It was an amazing meeting! Thank you Ulrike (@uendesfelder.bsky.social), Mike (@heilemannlab.bsky.social), Ulrich and all! I’m still under the spell of the scientific insights and the warm, encouraging spirit of this community.💖
And we are done --- #SMLMS2025 is over, and it was great. Thank you Uli & Ulrike & all the helpers 👍, and thanks to everyone joining this event 🙏 ... safe travels home & see you soon!

A special week: 🎉Honored to receive the Waltrude & Friedrich Liebau Prize de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebau-Preis for promoting interdisciplinary crystallography with my ‘Protein Art’. I never dreamed my art would find its way into the hearts of distinguished scientists.

Super-resolution imaging of #glycans is on the rise! It's amazing to see how the difficult task of tracking sugars is being tackled.
Our Lectin-PAINT work is out! A super-resolution approach to study membrane-exposed glycans with nm resolution and in live cells. Multiplexed 8-colors imaging mapping heterogeneity in "glycotype" with single molecule resolution. Fantastic work of our Marrit! #Glycotime www.nature.com/articles/s42...
Multiplexed Lectin-PAINT super-resolution microscopy enables cell glycotyping - Communications Biology
A super-resolution method for single-molecule detection and tracking of glycans on the surface of living cells is developed. Glycan’s abundance and mobility are used to explore differences in glycosyl...

We've just published a new scientific preprint that dives into the spatial glycome using super-resolution microscopy.
Discover the critical role of sugars and take a look at our visualizations revealing their cell-wide presence. -> www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Imaging the cell's sugar coat with an incredibly high precision👏.
ÅNGSTRÖM-RESOLUTION IMAGING OF CELL-SURFACE GLYCANS 🧬🎨🍬

The glycocalyx, our cells' sugar coat, holds secrets in immunology, cancer, viral infections, and more. Visualizing its molecular architecture was impossible… until now. #glycotime #microscopy

Lectins, which are sugar-binding proteins, possess antiviral and virucidal properties. The aim is to preserve these beneficial effects while reducing their cytotoxic and mitogenic impacts. -> www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
