What a way to close the year!!! An amazing webinar dedicated on Glycobiology full of research highlights, advancements, new tools and inspiration!!!! Such a great group of people. Go follow them ⚡@megtriesscience.bsky.social @merrylabnotts.bsky.social @lornamilne.bsky.social @glycoluke.bsky.social
Stem Cell Glycobiology Lab
@merrylabnotts.bsky.social
Glycoscience, Cancer and Stem Cells with a sprinkle of Biomaterials | University of Nottingham 🧬 ALL VIEWS PERSONAL TO THE GROUP
Hugely looking forward to this!!! Oh come all yea glyco-fans…. Etc. etc.
🔬 Glycobiology geeks — this one’s for you! “Beyond Proteins: Exploring the Hidden World of Glycans” With @merrylabnotts.bsky.social + @megtriesscience.bsky.social 📅 December 9 ⏲️ 2pm (GMT), 3pm (CET), 9am (EST) Don't miss out!! @amsocmatbio.bsky.social
Ready to go! Hangzhou for the Chinese Association for Laboratory Animal Sciences Congress. I’m here talking about all things Replacement and we’ve got a whole UK team including researchers and leaders from Oxford and Cambridge (Ewan Smith talking later on Mole Rats)
In Nanjing,China - learning about Chinese regulation of animals in research and sharing best practice from the UK, including many resources from @nc3rs.bsky.social
Different beverage, different mode of transport! Off to China then Australia (so… no choice really but to fly). Talking all things animal replacement in China then off to the International Proteoglycans meeting with @brookefarrugia.bsky.social ! Whoop!!!!
Totally fallen in love with Tromsø! Great discussions and enthusiasm for the future!
So…where are we off to today, little coffee and bonus chocolate (present from my daughter)? Off too @c19qmul.bsky.social for their organ-on-chip extravaganza!!! With @peptimatrix.bsky.social buddies
Go Jenny (Dr Jennifer Ashworth)! Fantastic presentation of her group’s work - multi-component characterisation of patient tissue and how to recapitulate this in in vitro models. Excellent work!
And we are off!!! @nc3rs.bsky.social making a meaningful difference. Rapid networking already over coffee. @peptimatrix.bsky.social
Makes me think about our @ukbiofilms.bsky.social group TBH (love you guys, but a bit terrified too)
Biology Department xkcd.com/3140/
So… where are me and my coffee off to today? Looking forward to a busy day with @nc3rs.bsky.social and BBSRC talking about business innovation vouchers and how to support engagement between academia and industry to help the transition to animal-free in vitro models.
Data drop! We just released an updated list of anti-ECM antibodies curated from the #HumanBioMolecularAtlasProgram Organ Mapping Antibody Panels #OMAP and the 9th release of the Human Reference Atlas #HRA. Check it out: sites.google.com/uic.edu/matr...
Thank you to the organisers and attendees, this was a great meeting!!!
Big thank you to the British Society for Matrix Biology for the chance to present our work integrating SIMS analysis of GAGs with the instruments multi-omic abilities! 🍬
On my way to London again to work on our interview technique… anyone would think we really, really wanted to do this project!!!!
@corbenmarrs.bsky.social Hello! And thanks for setting up the @nottsglycohub.bsky.social have fun at @aberuni.bsky.social
In 2024 we awarded almost £21k to 13 public engagement projects, reaching 3,000+ people across 17 events. Genevieve Barr explores the projects, from inspiring the next generation of scientists to creating resources for the community to use in their own 3Rs activities: nc3rs.org.uk/news/public-...
Hugely excited to meet the @mac4me.bsky.social team in Rotterdam for our kick-off meeting. Here with @peptimatrix.bsky.social and a whole interdisciplinary team ’opening new doors in cancer immunotherapy’ www.mac4me.eu
Another one bites the dust…. Nice to get the grant rejection mid week though, not saved for Friday night.

Today, off to Cardiff for a viva, looking forward to discussing all things CS!
Donald Trump’s ‘war on woke’ is fast becoming a war on science. That’s incredibly dangerous. This this and more this! A topic of active conversation at the #GlycoGRC.
After a morning of culture with @lornamilne.bsky.social at the amazing Emin exhibition we are on our way!!!! #GlycoGRS #GlycoGRC
@aberuni.bsky.social Ok, you win. What a love trip over for the eldest’s offer holder day tomorrow. They were talking about the course all the way here and just arrived in time for this. Bloody well done Aber x
Grand location today for the @ukri.org BBSRC 30 year anniversary meeting. I must have been one of their first case PhD students and I’m still very grateful to hold funding from them now. Excellent discussions for the future.
Leaving @unistrathclyde.bsky.social after a fun and useful visit hosted by @carstenschulte4.bsky.social . Thank you again and let’s combine forces (!) to get to grips with the glycocalyx
No need for second guesses on where I am….
