And with that I have graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a PhD in Chemistry ! While I never anticipated a move in middle of my PhD, but life happened! I am so thankful for such an enriching experience at MIT Chemistry and It’s been quite a journey!!

Massive congrats to Deena for defending her thesis! Deena is the definition of resilience and grace, and we are so lucky to have her in the department. Deena was featured in the last edition of the WIC+ newsletter, which you can read here: wic.scripts.mit.edu/wic/get-to-kno….

5th floor postdocs Mike Wuo, Adele Gabba, Amanda Peiffer, Rajeev, @carolinaortizco, Robert Lyle McPherson, & research scientist Amanda Dugan complete the #KiesslingGroupRollCall! Our talented chemical biologists study stem cells, lectins, & immunology. Read the Amandas paper online now!

"Ph.D. is a true type II fun! You just have to stick to it, it will come to you with all of its glory!"

Mohammad Murshid Alam defended at the start of 2020, our last in person defense for 2 years (though we didn't know that then). He made major contributions to our immunology project. Murshid is working locally, and is still a valuable resource for trainees in the group.

After building embryoids for 10 years, we succeeded in generating structures with brains, hearts, neural tubes, somites with a yolk sac. Both original submissions using two different approaches are on BioRxiv, to be published soon. eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

Thrilled to see click chemistry recognized for its huge impact on chemical biology. From the whole group, a big congratulations to our friends in the Carolyn Bertozzi group as well as Barry Sharpless and Morten Meldal's groups. Well deserved! #ChemNobel #glycotime

Every year I read a lot of grad school applications from accomplished people that don't give me the info I'm looking for. It feels like a major hidden curriculum thing. So here's (my opinion on) how to write a great Statement of Purpose/Research for a PhD program. 🧵 1/

Did you know that Harvard has free Resume, CV and Cover Letter resources - including action verbs, templates and samples? I've compiled a list of them -

So proud of you @vicmarando! ❤️

Using expansion microscopy 🔬, Dr. Laura Kiessling and team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found striking changes in heparan sulfate nanostructure occur as hPS cells differentiate, and these changes correlate with growth factor signaling. Learn more: 📑 bit.ly/40cfP8J

Wow our lab is on fire! Congrats to Dr. Brown!

So good to see 'glycans in stem cells' are getting attention from the peers! Thanks Science in Boston for featuring our work!
