Congratulations to Rebecca Hale and @DoMorais_ Dominique Morais for their excellent contribution in reviewing glycosylation in clinical allergy and immunology. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37717626/

Congratulations to Dr. Ryan Philip Jajosky on getting his paper published. Hopefully, our proposed treatment will be utilized to help malaria patients. mdpi.com/2414-6366/8/10…

It's great to attend the 2023 SFG meeting in Hawaii, and congratulations to @DoMorais_ and Shang-Chuen Wu on receiving the SFG travel award.

Did you know that the severity of your #covid19 infection could be affected by your blood type? As we are seeing spikes in COVID-19 cases, it is relevant to bring up this article published with Dr. Connie M. Arthur and Dr. Richard D. Cummings. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37942883/

In honor of #SickleCellAwarenessMonth we are spotlighting this review that discusses the difficulty surrounding alloimmunization during patient treatment. #bloodtransfusion #gettoknowsicklecell #sicklecell Blood Diseases & Disorders Education Program pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37981194/

This summer, we hosted students from BYU Emory University Boston University UC San Diego and co-ops from Northeastern U. who all gained experience in glycobiology and transfusion medicine. We will miss them and wish them luck as they begin their fall semesters!

Happy #NationalPostdocAppreciationWeek! 🎉 Postdocs are the backbone of groundbreaking research, pushing the frontiers of science and knowledge every day. Thank you for your dedication, resilience, and passion! 🌟 #PostdocPride #ResearchHeroes

Congratulations to Shang-Chuen Wu, Justin Jan, and other members of our lab for their recent publication on the dimeric nature of galectin-4! #galectin #glycobiology #Immunology pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38490531/

Congratulations to Dr. Ryan P. Jajosky on receiving this grant for his work on KEL alloimmunization in transgenic mice models! This project is paving the way for safer #bloodtransfusions and a better understanding of #alloimmunity. 🎉

New in Blood Journal: Nguyen et al. show CORM-401, a CO-releasing molecule, can reduce hemolysis-induced endothelial injury in sickle cell disease, offering a potential new treatment for acute SCD complications sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
