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 🦠

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!

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. 🎤👩‍🔬

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 🦠💉🌍

Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women: bit.ly/4gDCdk5.

Thanks to the HPV vaccine, that’s changing.
