Now we have our new group website: tuowanglab.com, though lots of changes are needed. Keep it for checking our  future updates.

We are grateful for a new NSF-MCB grant, which will support our efforts over the next four years to develop ¹H-detected solid-state NMR methods specifically tailored for carbohydrate structure determination. @MSUChem

Our new study @angew_chem: solid-state NMR and DNP enable the resolution of five distinct types of α-glucans involved in capsule anchoring, melanin hosting, and packing with chitin microfibrils in Cryptococcus. #nmrchat @MSUChem @MRCcmm onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Check out our new study @PNASNews: Solid-state NMR reveals that two α-amylase-like enzymes drives α-glucan network formation in the fission yeast S. pombe. @PomBase #nmrchat @MSUChem @Gould_Lab pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Happy to share that I have been promoted to professor on July 1. Thanks my collegaues for your support. I will strive for greater contributions to both science and my academic home in the years ahead. @MSUChem

Grateful for a new R01 grant (MPI with Tamara Doering) from NIH NIAID to study beta-1,6-glucans in Cryptococcus neoformans. Excited to explore this under-investigated polysaccharide! @MSUChem @MSUNatSci

Thrilled to share that we attended the 9th Gateway NMR Conference at @OhioState, celebrating the launch of the first 1.2 GHz NMR in the U.S.! Congrats to our postdoc Dr. Cameron Vojvodin for winning the Best Poster Award for his excellent research presentation! Cheers!!

Check out the preprint showing the role of alpha-glucans and a-amylase family enzymes in S. Pombe @Gould_Lab @PomBase #nmrchat biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A try of 1H-detection on lignocellulose to visualize lignin-carbohydrate interactions #nmrchat biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to be part of this project led by Dr. Wei Qiang.

13C and 1H solid-state NMR shows how alpha-glucan use different structures to anchor chitin, melanin, and capsules in cryptococcus #nmrchat

Congratulations to Subba @JYarava and Isha on their work of 1H-detection of cellular carbohydrates. Now out on JACS. @MSUChem #nmrchat

Proud to share that our postdoc Jayasubba @TuoWangLab received the Manrao-Rastogi Travel Award for Young Scientists and Ph.D. student Deb Kumar earned the Student Travel Award at ENC-ISMAR 2025. It was a rewarding experience to present our work and connect with the NMR community

Check out our publication entitled- “A fundamental study of lignin reactions with formaldehyde and glyoxal” published in Green Chemistry. Thanks to my PI ⁦⁦@TuoWang101⁩ and all my co-authors !! ⁦⁦@TuoWangLab⁩ ⁦@MSUChem⁩ pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our solid-state NMR study shows the emergence and pattern of lignin-carbohydrate interactions during the maturation of plant stems. Now available @BioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

DNP view of wetland soil near New Orleans revealed unexpected presence of plant polymers after a thousand years: slow degradation due to dense packing and restricted oxygen access. @MSUChem @LSU_Chemistry #nmrchat #soil  pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Check out our new study of the cell wall structure and antifungal response of C. albicans and the superfungus C. auris by 13C and 1H solid-state NMR and DNP. #NMRchat @ISHAM_Mycology @biorxivpreprint _microbio biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
