So happy to celebrate Isha’s graduation 🎓 An incredible journey comes to a beautiful milestone! We had a wonderful farewell dinner as a lab, sharing memories, laughter, and pride in all she has accomplished.
Wishing you all the success and happiness in your next chapter!!

Two postdoc researchers to join the Tuo Wang Lab @TuoWangLab at Michigan State University. We are particularly interested in candidates with strong expertise in either biomolecular NMR or quadrupolar/materials NMR https://t.co/WNkCFwTJxl #NMRjobs #NMRchat #NMR 🧲

Ankur, Anand, Priya and Isha at ENC! Learning about the recent breakthroughs of our NMR community and catching up with friends!

So proud of Aswath Karai for earning the Goldwater Scholarship!
An incredible undergraduate researcher in our lab, doing outstanding work on fungal cell wall structure using ssNMR being recognized. A well-deserved achievement! @MSUChem @MSUNatSci

Another important study on JACS: we have relied on the sensitivity of DNP to track the incorporation of Phe and Tyr into lignin network in the grass cell wall of Brachypodium and understand biosynthetic pathway. #PlantBiology #nmrchat @MSUChem @MSUNatSci

Now on JACS: we show that how alpha-glucans play important roles in cell wall remodeling and change immune recognition in a vaccine candidate strain of Aspergillus fumigatus #nmrchat @MSUChem @MSUNatSci @MRCcmm

In collaboration with Nishiyama and Xu groups, we combined the use of solid-state NMR and X-ray to determine the structural organizations of cellulose, xylan, and lignin in wheat straw and provide a unified model. #nmrchat @MSUChem @MSUNatSci

First time at #Fungal26. Great to finally meet many long-time collaborators in person. Isha gave a talk on Aspergillus cell wall and stress adaptation, and Tuo gave two talks on zygosporic fungi and antifungal-induced remodeling.

[TuoWangLab @TuoWangLab]

Check out new article @PLOSPathogens on the use of solid-state NMR got understand fungal cell wall structure and antifungal response. https://t.co/KA8mMrg0TV

New review article on the solid-state NMR stuidies of fungal and plant cell walls @TheCellSurface. #nmrchat Thanks @neil_gow for highlighting the article. https://t.co/grYqnvCvmh

[Neil Gow @neil_gow]

Excellent new review led by Tuo Wang on how solid state NMR is transforming our understanding of fungal cell wall organisation.

The Wang Group had an inspiring time at the Midwest Carbohydrate & Glycobiology Symposium @UToledo!
Grateful for insightful discussions and proud of our members @Ankur and Kalpana who earned Best Oral and Poster Awards! 👏
