Five years ago, I shared a picture of CRB on my very first day at @YaleChem. Today, almost exactly 5 years later I'm walking into the same building with a new title (and a lot of construction)! Iโm thrilled to share that I am officially an Associate Professor with tenure!! ๐ฅ๐
Congratulations Prof. @StacyMalaker , who has been named a 2026 Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar by the Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation. The Malaker Lab focuses on advancing glycoproteomic technologies to better understand the glycocode and its role in human health and disease.
Honored to be named a Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar! Grateful for the support of the Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation and for my incredible colleagues and trainees at @YaleChem. Excited to keep pushing forward on glycoproteomics, mucinomics, and cracking the glycocode! ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
Yale chemists have developed a new digital framework they say will speed up drug discovery and other breakthroughs. MOSIAC is an open-source AI-guide for researchers navigating the complex world of chemical synthesis. Learn more in this article https://t.co/nclRePDjay.
More good news from me this week: another Malaker lab preprint!! ๐๐Headed up by outstanding graduate students @vchangchemistry and Ryan Chen, they decided to take a peek ๐ (pun intended) at the native tear fluid (glyco)peptidome ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ:

@vchangchemistry While the tear film provides a uniquely accessible and glycan-rich model system, the principles we uncover are broadly relevant to glycopeptide chemistry, protease specificity, and the design of peptide-based therapeutics.
@YaleChem Today, I feel just as excited about the science, even more grateful for the people, and energized for what comes next. Iโm SO proud of what weโve built together and excited for the #glycotime#TeamMassSpec#mucinomics future ahead. Cheers to the next chapter! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ

@vchangchemistry Iโm incredibly proud of the team, especially @vchangchemistry for pushing glycoproteomics to address such complex biological questions. Tear fluid still has so many glycobiology secrets left to uncover... and weโre just getting started! Stay tuned for more updates to come! ๐ ๐
Some light holiday reading for everyone!! ๐ ๐ Iโm thrilled to share our newest preprint investigating galectin-3 biology in tear fluid ๐, led by rock star graduate student @vchangchemistry !!

@vchangchemistry This work opens the door to understanding how glycans, splicing, and protein assembly cooperatively shape immune and barrier function at the ocular surface. We envision this could help guide future therapeutic strategies in conditions like DED, where Gal-3 levels are dysregulated
