Only a handful of #glycobiology labs in the country have received federal funding — and three of them are here at FIU.
“The TGIF is at the forefront of glycobiology research," said Director Charles Dimitroff of @DimitroffLab.

Some of the nation's top glycobiologists visited FIU recently as our Translational Glycobiology Institute (TGIF) hosted a meeting with @theNCI.
These scientists are working to understand the role glycans, complex sugars on the surface of cells, play in cancer development.
Dimitroff Lab retweeted
The new Translational Glycobiology Institute at FIU, or TGIF, has already gained national attention for its cutting-edge studies. Only 10 glycobiology labs have received federal funding in the United States and, remarkably, three of them are here at the Institute.

New method from Karin Hoffmeister lab: lectin microarrays that accurately distinguish #ABO glycoprotein expression variability. Unlike routine serological methods, it may detect subtle ABO glycoprotein density variations. @TranslGlycOmics bit.ly/3j444Ms

It's long past time to remove the barriers that prevent talented women from becoming leaders.
We might also need to create barriers to prevent mediocre men from gaining power.
Let's stop punishing competent women *and* stop rewarding incompetent men.

You’ve heard that it’s important to #WearAMask. That’s true – masks save lives. But, you might not have heard that some masks are better than others. And, new research shows that some masks might even be counterproductive. Wondering how masks work and why this matters? A thread.
