Hats off to our latest #PhDone: Nishu Yadav explored how #carbohydrates can be engineered to fold into defined, stable structures. Just as in proteins and DNA, in carbohydrates too “form follows function”. @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social Supervisor: @delbiancom.bsky.social tinyurl.com/5hdm53px

Supramolecular Carbohydrate Assemblies with Tunable Glycan Surfaces out today in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social! Congrats to Nives, Marlene, Junki, Jaap, Kai, Yu, and Katharina! @mpici.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

In his #PhD, Surusch Djalali examined structure-property correlations in #oligosaccharides to create #carbohydrate #foldamers & self-assembling materials. We are late in celebrating his achievement, but his paper on the 1st prototype for de novo #glycan design is here to stay! tinyurl.com/bdfed6vz

🚀 Opportunity for Master’s Students! 🌟 Join us at the @mpici.bsky.social to build an innovative application to design carbohydrate structures as part of the #ERCPoC GlycoRoads project! Check out our #glycotime work: www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧬 Speaking at Foldamers 2025: Dr Martina Del Bianco, @delbiancom.bsky.social, Max Plank Institute, Germany Dr Martina Del Bianco will be discussing designing carbohydrate foldamers. 📍 Register now: foldamers2025.com

@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. #chemsky tinyurl.com/f7xjj57d

Join us for a #PhD in #glycotimes! You'll be part of a collaboration between my group and Yu Ogawa's group at the @mpici.bsky.social to design carbohydrates that fold and assemble on demand. #chemistryjobs #researchjobs jobs.mpikg.mpg.de/jobposting/e...

From spontaneous to controlled glycan folding! Check out our new chapter in glycan foldamers in @jacs.acspublications.org Congrats to Nishu! Great collaboration with Ana, Yadiel, Martin, Yu, Jesus, @cicbiogune.bsky.social, @cermav.bsky.social, @mpici.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
