@riley-research.bsky.social had a great time catching up with local research at the Cascadia Proteomics Symposium last week. The lineup featured talks from Katie Kothlow and Haley Schramm, and a lightning talk/poster from @emmajays.bsky.social

Congrats to Emmajay for her 2nd-place poster award too!

@riley-research.bsky.social is excited for #ASMS2025 in Baltimore!

We made sure to capitalize on some of the classics, like a crab dinner at LP Steamers and an Orioles game, before the conference festivities kicked off.

Come hear what we have been up to!

Another beautiful example of NIH-SPONSORED bedside to bench and back to bedside work from an outstanding clinician scientist. This work is producing some of the most compelling responses to treatment in what is arguably the worst pediatric brain tumor.

‘The first experiments produced just jaw-dropping results’

Stanford neuro-oncologist Michelle Monje is pursuing a cure for a deadly pediatric brain cancer – and reshaping our understanding of how cancer and brain development intersect.

GlyCounter (and pre-print) from the @riley-research.bsky.social is now out to help inspect raw MS data for glycan-specific ions.

Congrats to first author Katie Kothlow for leading this and to all RRG members who helped test GlyCounter's utility for numerous datasets! This was a great team effort.

The Glycobiology Gordon Research Seminar this weekend was a great kickoff to the Glyco GRC this week. ~70 grad students and postdocs shared awesome #glycotime data and built community.

Much appreciation is owed to my co-chair @fionachembot.bsky.social who played a big role in its success.
