Using expansion microscopy 🔬, Dr. Laura Kiessling and team at @MIT found striking changes in heparan sulfate nanostructure occur as hPS cells differentiate, and these changes correlate with growth factor signaling.

Did you know that Harvard has free Resume, CV and Cover Letter resources - including action verbs, templates and samples?
I've compiled a list of them -

Every year I read a lot of grad school applications from accomplished people that don't give me the info I'm looking for. It feels like a major hidden curriculum thing. So here's (my opinion on) how to write a great Statement of Purpose/Research for a PhD program. 🧵 1/

Thrilled to see click chemistry recognized for its huge impact on chemical biology. From the whole group, a big congratulations to our friends in the @CarolynBertozzi group as well as Barry Sharpless and Morten Meldal's groups. Well deserved! #ChemNobel #glycotime

After building embryoids for 10 years, we succeeded in generating structures with brains, hearts, neural tubes, somites with a yolk sac. Both original submissions using two different approaches are on BioRxiv, to be published soon. eur03.safelinks.protection.o…

Mohammad Murshid Alam defended at the start of 2020, our last in person defense for 2 years (though we didn't know that then). He made major contributions to our immunology project. Murshid is working locally, and is still a valuable resource for trainees in the group.

Massive congrats to Deena for defending her thesis! Deena is the definition of resilience and grace, and we are so lucky to have her in the department. Deena was featured in the last edition of the WIC+ newsletter, which you can read here: wic.scripts.mit.edu/wic/get-….
HUGE congratulations to @DeenaMahbuba who defended her thesis today. The last of our graduate students from @UWBiochem, Deena studied the role of cell surface glycans in guiding human pluripotent stem cell fate. Here she is relaxing after her defense! #PhDone

Congrats to @vicmarando and Daria Kim for their Methods in Enzymology paper! 🎊 A follow-up to their JACS paper (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…), this methods paper details how to visualize the mycobacterial cell wall. Check it out: authors.elsevier.com/a/1eV2P…

Check out the @MIT_WIC newsletter: there's a profile on lab member @DeenaMahbuba and lab members @jillwillalty, @AdeleGabba, @kitaylor13 contributed articles. Last but not least, @SSmelyansky was one of the editors who put the whole thing together!
The 2021 MIT WIC+ newsletter is out! Read what we've been up to over the past (largely virtual) year! @MIT_WIC mailchi.mp/f7f66cff860c/wome…

#RAKWeek Shout Out to The Mothers of the @KiesslingGroup! The Mothers of the Kiessling Group have juggled the responsibilities of research, teaching, and parenting – in the middle of a pandemic! You all are so inspiring!

New paper from @mmurshidalam (collaborating w/ the Finn Lab) investigating how antigen structure influences signalling from DC-SIGN triggering a Th1-type immune response. Exciting work validating DC-targeting, glycosylated VLPs for vaccine design pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Congratulations to @mmurshidalam and team (including the Finn Group @GT_CHEM) for their findings in @acsnano. Conjugates that target DC-SIGN on dendritic cells through pH-stable ligands afford cellular immunity: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…

1/25 Part 1 - Why does soap work so well on the SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus and indeed most viruses? Because it is a self-assembled nanoparticle in which the weakest link is the lipid (fatty) bilayer. A two part thread about soap, viruses and supramolecular chemistry #COVID19
