Our latest from Doug is out @ChemicalScience @UoMMIB . We introduce #PVAylation: site specific bioconjugation of PVA to proteins, bringing unique ice-binding capability as well as other benefits of polymer-conjugation. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Such a delightful surprise to see our recent paper made it to the cover of @NatureRevGenet @UoMMIB nature.com/articles/s4157…
>40 academics, >200 researchers working across all areas of macromolecular science. Bringing together incredible teams, both based in exciting and growing cities. We kick off with talks from Michael Shaver Sebastien Lecommandoux and Richard Jones.
Today we have the first meeting of #PolyCordiale hosted @UoMMIB @UoMSciEng and @LCPO_Bordeaux international polymer collaboration.
I am very happy and honored, and would like to thank everyone who supported me during my PhD - in particular my supervisors Perdita Barran and Richard Winpenny.
Congratulations to @GeueNiklas who received the Wolfgang Paul Study Award from the German Society for Mass Spectrometry for his thesis "Formation, Characterisation and Disassembly of Metallosupramolecular Complexes in vacuo". 🥳🎉 @BarranGroup

Our new vice Chancellor Duncan Ivison visited my lab to chat wonderful science with everyone in my lab. @UoMMIB @UoMNews
Honored to join inspiring minds at the UoM, discussing ways to support EDI, drive action, and attract more talented women to academia. Stay tuned for impactful initiatives! with Duncan Ivison, Rachel Cowen, Lin Ma, Jackie Carter, Molly Lacey, and Dawn Edge. @UoMMIB
Our new HPLC from @AgilentChem to go along with our Glyconeer (@GlycoUniverse ) is set up and ready @UoMMIB . This platform for automated polysaccharide synthesis will transform our capabilities for biomaterial discovery. Thanks to @RoyceInstitute for support.
The #NorthWest is a fantastic #science & #tech cluster which I fully support. I met @LancasterUni, @UoMGraphene, @UoMMIB and @McrDig to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing our scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers and investors across the region.
