Congratulations to @swcanner.bsky.social for the successful defense of his thesis, “The Protein Sugar Interactome”! Leveraging deep learning and AI, he created tools and uncovered putative structural interactions underlying intercellular communication. He will receive his diploma in December.

I'm so excited that my undergraduate research is now published - two days before my PhD public defense! Working alongside Dr. Wassall we studied the effect of vitamin E on model lipid membrane organization with deep learning approaches! doi.org/10.1021/acs....

α-Tocopherol and a Polyunsaturated Phospholipid Prefer Each Other’s Company in Mixed Membranes with Raft-Forming Sphingomyelin and Cholesterol: MD Simulations

α-Tocopherol (αtoc), the biologically active form of vitamin E, protects membrane lipids from oxidative damage. Previous hypotheses suggest that αtoc preferentially associates with polyunsaturated pho...

My latest manuscript is now on BioRxiv: Evaluation of De Novo Deep Learning Models on the Protein-Sugar Interactome. where we benchmark AF3 at protein-carbohydrate docking. This work was only possible with Dr. Lei Lu @takeshita-sho.bsky.social and @jeffreyjgray.bsky.social doi.org/10.1101/2025...

I’m happy to announce my latest paper has been released as a preprint on BioRxiv: Predictions from Deep Learning Propose Substantial Protein-Carbohydrate Interplay. This paper was only able to happen thanks to both @jeffreyjgray.bsky.social and Dr. Ronald L Schnaar www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Today with sponsor Del. Elizabeth Embry we launched the fight to bring justice to vulnerable road users by replacing Maryland's contributory negligence standard with a fairer one that recognizes that a human being hit by a car driver suffers more than a driver in a crash.
