Assistant professor @UBC. Using CRISPR functional genomics to study the role of glycans in cell biology, immunity and cancer.

[Simon Wisnovsky @Wisnovsky_Lab]

Excited to announce the launch of the Wisnovsky Lab @ubcpharmacy! We will be using genomic screening tools to study glycan function in cell biology and disease.

We're looking for researchers of all experience levels to join the group, see https://t.co/HcVgoMEHWa if interested!

We're still looking for a PDF to work on an exciting new project at the interface of glycobiology and tumor immunology! Check out our posting for more details, application deadline October 1st. https://t.co/egztQ8LvHv

Glycans regulate T cell function.

This statement is simple but it keeps me up at night — which glycans? On which cells? When? Do mechanisms translate across mice and humans?

To address this, we have curated 'A Unified Atlas of T cell Glycophysiology' https://t.co/NXjVYX6sTU

[Simon Wisnovsky @Wisnovsky_Lab]

We’re looking for a postdoc to lead an exciting new collaborative project with @WilliamsLab_UBC! The focus is on studying the dynamics of immune cell glycosylation in the tumor microenvironment. See posting for more details. Please like and RT! https://t.co/WqErZ4W2aL

[Rebecca Garnham @rebeccagarnham1]

Great to see our paper published today in communications biology which reports ST3Gal1 to synthesise Siglec-7 and Siglec-9 ligands critical to maintaining immune suppression within the prostate TIME @EScottScience🥳

@CIHR_IRSC A big thanks as well to awesome collaborators @Vuphuongly and @CCRCUGA

[Simon Wisnovsky @Wisnovsky_Lab]

So pleased that our lab has been awarded our first Project Grant from @CIHR_IRSC! Major credit goes to a terrific team of trainees, many of whom generated key preliminary data for this application. Congrats to all others who were successful this round as well!

[UBC Pharm Sci @ubcpharmacy]

Congratulations @DrLSchummers, @Wisnovsky_Lab, @tvelenosi, and @vannypaquette from #UBC Pharm Sci on receiving @CIHR_IRSC fall 2023 competition project grants. Read more at https://t.co/1Z4cqisq05.

Pleased to share the first original research paper from our lab, recently published in @jbiolchem! #glycotime https://t.co/QKFY9xp3gJ

[Simon Wisnovsky @Wisnovsky_Lab]

Really cool work from @MatthewMacaule4 lab!

[Justin Donnelly ⌬ @drjdon]

Check out my new preprint! I uncovered details about how a protein, Gal1, is internalized into cells and showed that we can use this as an alternative to ASGPR to deliver siRNAs! https://t.co/xCT1wd6yMr

@joelfinbloom Beautiful pics Joel! Although I feel like the view out my window this morning may be slightly more statistically representative.
