We can’t wait to catch up with what’s been going on in the PG world, be reunited with old faces and to meet some new ones. Also don’t forget to sign up for the main event, the GRC. We’ll see you there!

For the first 20 people to register for the GRS, we will be offering a travel bursary to help with the cost of attending. Act fast to avoid disappointment! ⏰ www.grc.org/proteoglycan...

The Gordon’s Research Seminar (GRS) on Proteoglycans is a 2-day symposium which takes place before the larger Gordon’s conference (GRC), and is designed specifically for PhDs, postdocs and others to share their research in a laid-back but supportive environment. 🎤👩‍🔬

REGISTRATION FOR THE 2026 PROTEOGLYCANS GRS + GRC IS NOW OPEN! 🦠 (….and there’s a discount 😍)

Join us next summer for the GRS on Proteoglycans! We’re so excited to welcome our early career researchers that we’re giving the first 20 sign-ups a bursary towards their travel 🧵⬇️

Great opportunity available in my PhD lab! An exciting project with a really fun and supportive team 🦠

Thank you to the organisers (Julia Fröse, Maiko Kitaoka, Jay Goodman, Petra Palenikova and Brandon Sit) for bringing us together, creating such a warm and inspiring environment (and giving me the opportunity to present!)

See you next year! 🧬

My first presentation as a postdoc! 🎙️

Yesterday I attended the KendallSqBio postdoc symposium where it was a pleasure to discover the cool work going on in our area as well as share what I’ve been up to with my lab’s new story on glycans in cancer! 🦠

It was a pleasure to write this piece on HPV immunisation as part of our #CelebrateVaccines series 💙 Now more than ever, it is critical that we share evidence based resources on vaccination to help people make informed decisions about their health 🦠💉🌍

Well done Meg! So exited for what you will do in the next few years

Megan, our lab's first postdoc, has set a record that will be hard to beat: securing a competitive fellowship in her first week on the job! I'm grateful to TBBCF for their support and privileged to work with outstanding scientists like Megan, more on her work here: tbbcf.org/research/ Congrats! 🍾

Thank you Rachel!

Foundations such as TBBCF are more important now than ever. Read more about their work (and my project!) here: tbbcf.org/research/

After a great few weeks settling into my new lab with @jcstark.bsky.social at the @mitkochinstitute.bsky.social , I’m thrilled to share I have been awarded a TBBCF postdoc fellowship! This award will fund the next 2 years of my research targeting glycans for the treatment of breast cancer 🦠
