@delbiancom.bsky.social received the Feltrinelli #Prize for her research on carbohydrate-based materials. She synthesizes well-defined #carbohydrates using automated methods. With her team, she engineers synthetic sugar chains that adopt shapes from helices to sheets.

🚀 Exciting News! 🚀

Our project developing therapeutic carbohydrate-based molecules to reduce risk of organ transplant rejection has been 🌟 awarded ca. 1 million CHF 🌟 from @snsf-ch.bsky.social 🎉 🥂

We are so excited to embark on this journey over the next 4 years!

A very warm 👋welcome👋 to new @unibas.ch PhD student Victoria who joined our team earlier this month! Victoria carried out a 6mo. internship with us last year during her MSc @unistra.fr & will continue her work on developing #GlycoTime anti-virulence therapies thanks to 💰 support @snsf-ch.bsky.social

This is happening at the University of Glasgow today, women in STEM have been asked to get together to write the word STEM so a drone can take a picture. In my opinion, this act will do nothing for the advancement of women in STEM. It is nice, it will be a good picture. #WomenInSTEM

🌟 Big welcome to our new team member, Arnaud! 🌟

We're thrilled to have Arnaud join our team @unibas.ch for his MSc Pharmacy project, where he will be 🔍 investigating the role of some new glycan structures in regulating bacterial virulence 🦠🧪 #GlycoTime #DrugDevelopment

Proud of @faezehjame.bsky.social and our latest paper on upregulation by #miRNA. miRNA upregulate protein expression of CD98hc, ST3GAL1 and ST3GAL2 in a coordinated manner. Regulation is bidirectional, changing the picture on how these #RNA work. #glycotime

Screening the human miRNA interactome reveals coordinated up-regulation in melanoma, adding bidirectional regulation to miRNA networks
Analysis of ST3GAL1/2 and CD98hc regulation by miRNA reveals co–up-regulation, adding a bidirectional twist to miRNA networks.

What an entertaining talk!!
(🎥 15 min, link below)

Using humour to address a difficult subject, Kannon is so engaging and effective at bringing awareness to representation in science and the language we choose to discuss our results.

Plus ... FROGS!!! 🐸😍🐸😍🐸

Colleagues, Students, Postdocs, Collaborators and Friends of Sir Fraser Stoddart: I am writing with the sad news that Fraser passed away suddenly on 31 Dec (Australia time) while on holiday with family. No details yet on any services. He is irreplaceable.

hello #chemsky, esp. people in education! do you have any stories of weird chemistry final exam traditions? did you make shrines to marie curie or have séances with mendeleev's ghost? and are you willing to exhume those memories for a possible @cenmag.bsky.social story? dm me or lmk in the replies!

Bad news for Swiss chemists, swissuniversities could not reach a "read and publish" agreement with Wiley journals and we enter a no deal situation. Hopefully the situation get resolved soon!
