What a day for CBI!! NINE fantastic PhDs that have transformed our program were hooded today. Couldn’t be prouder. Congratulations to all the grads and their families @UDResearch @UDelaware @UDGradStudents

Hoods on, heads up!! Looking good DeVonte Moore, Rachel Putnik, @dereckshan1996 @steve_hyland96. Super fun day and amazing day to “fill one’s cup as a mentor”. Congratulations to all the graduates and families! @UDGradStudents @UDResearch @UDelCBI @ChemistryUD

StePhen Hyland accentuated the Ph in his name today, @steve_hyland96 dazzling the packed house with his ultra fast Peptidoglycan labeling thesis work. Striving through adversity and building collaborations with @AshlynSHillman @siegristpalmore @PyloriNina @FoxGroupUD

So incredibly proud of the newest Dr. @steve_hyland96 !! He is an incredibly talented colleague who I got to collaborate with/co-author 5 papers with during my graduate time, and he is an even better lifelong friend! So proud to watch you grow as a scientist all these years! 🦠🔬

Jersey girl/now @ChemistryUD Thanks @acs_carb for patching me in to the awards banquet last night and our lab’s 2023 Isbell lecture today. ❤️ the hybrid @AmerChemSociety (esp. when u COVID). Was able to engage with the amazing @LabKohler @glycoworld @glyco_pm. Very Grateful!!

Early morning run with some @ChemistryUD prospective graduate students. Took a quick tour through White Clay, around Main street, and the Green. Showing the many things UD and Newark have to offer!

I’m missing recruiting weekend @ChemistryUD. Hope u aren’t. Hope you consider doing your PhD at one of the best kept secrets in the chemistry world: amazingly supportive, creative and innovative. Come see what @UDResearch @UDGradStudents @UDelCBI has to offer. I too was surprised

Nice night for a run with @ChemistryUD @UDelCBI Graduate Students to kick off UD’s @UDelaware homecoming. Thank you @KAWodzanowski for making the trip back. Congratulations to @ellie_meck for bringing a medal back to lab🏅

Congratulations @KAWodzanowski @steve_hyland96 for leading this collaboration with the Sharma Lab. Thank you @NIH_CommonFund and @UDelCBI for support and development of Peptidoglycan cell wall probes to label oral pathogens. @UDResearch @ChemistryUD #glycotime

Proud to share my latest first author paper 🥳 ⬇️ This project was so special because I was able to complete a lot of the work with my undergraduate mentee, Liam, and my close friend and colleague @steve_hyland96 as well as establish a new collaboration with the Ashu Sharma lab!

As the @ACS_CARB Immediate Past Chair, I am happy to announce that Catherine Grimes @CLGrimesLab is a recipient of The 2023 Horace S. Isbell Award given for Excellence in and promise of continued quality of contribution to research in carbohydrate chemistry.

Congratulations @GenevaMCrump for teaching us how to work with the C albicans’ LRR Cry1, an important protein in sensing bacterial peptidoglycan @BiochemistryACS . Fun collaboration with membrane expert @sharonrozovsky! ❤️ gelato! @UDResearch @UDelCBI https://t.co/mIh7Wgtyyz

Great day 2 at #expbio with some members of the @CLGrimesLab! Had a great time presenting my poster and supporting my lab member Ha Le with her poster today! @expbio @ASBMB #asbmb2022

Come learn more about the chemistry and biochemistry PhD program at our graduate recruitment table from the @CLGrimesLab at @ASBMB! @ChemistryUD @UDelaware

Heading to Philly for @ASBMB #ASBMB2022? Come check out our #glycotime Interest Group: Glycobiology at the Cutting Edge! @NadineSamara and I are hosting an awesome lineup including @CLGrimesLab, Yunpeng Liu, Chris Taron, and @jesskramerutah! See you there! https://t.co/dj7GZHaV5H

Excited to finally share my first author paper is out in @FrontChemistry! This work is the center of my dissertation and brought together my advisors @CLGrimesLab and @AKloxinGroup in a collaborative project of chemical biology and bioengineering… 1/ https://t.co/lXegXgZsZS

Open for a surprise! (i.e. a photo of me working way too late in the office) Congrats to lead authors @kedemeester and @klare_l in @CLGrimesLab for this feature in UDaily and letting me be a supporting part of this project!
