@MichaelCJewett @NUSynBio @adsilverman627 @Andrew_C_Hunt @jasminehershewe @MichaelCJewett I definitely do! So many incredible friends and colleagues here!

[Weston Kightlinger @WKightlinger]

We're looking for a Glycoengineering Scientist to join our team. If you or anyone you know loves all things #glycoproteins #glycosylation #glycotime #glycoscience #glycans please reach out to help buildout an emerging platform and accelerate therapeutics manufacturing! #hiring

[Weston Kightlinger @WKightlinger]

Thanks Ben!

@claudiaevickers @WKightlinger @ACSSynBio @jewettlab_NU @ktwarfel @DeLisaGroup @mattdelisa Fantastic review Weston and co!

[Weston Kightlinger @WKightlinger]

Thanks to @NUSynBio @NorthwesternU @NorthwesternEng... Go 'Cats!

[Weston Kightlinger @WKightlinger]

Our Synthetic Glycobiology review is @ACSSynBio! Whether you're a glycobiology purist or a synbio gene wrangler, make it your go-to review for all the exciting things bridging #glycotime and #synbio! Thanks @jewettlab_NU @ktwarfel @DeLisaGroup @mattdelisa!https://t.co/GymD6xWQED

[Michael C. Jewett @MichaelCJewett]

How sweet it is. Our new review on synthetic glycobiology for the #synbio audience is out. @WKightlinger @ktwarfel @mattdelisa @NUSynBio describe recent innovations and #glycotime applications, from manufacturing medicines to materials. #bioeconomy

Check out #ASAP research by Michael C. Jewett @jewettlab_NU, Milan Mrksich & team @NUSynBio on sequential glycosylation of proteins with substrate-specific N-Glycosyltransferases: https://t.co/bsz5j4Wj2G

[Weston Kightlinger @WKightlinger]

Check out our latest paper with Liang Lin @mrksich with a creative way to create defined glycoproteins in vitro! We discovered new enzyme specificities to install multiple unique glycans on a single target protein. @jewettlab_NU @NUSynBio #glycotime https://t.co/fztnuDgKGv

Cell-free systems are enabling on-demand biomanufacturing, portable diagnostics, and next-generation educational kits. Read about how cell-free systems have come of age with @smashty @NUSynBio @adsilverman627 Thanks to all who helped with this and for the opportunity to write it

[Weston Kightlinger @WKightlinger]

Great write-up by @NorthwesternEng and @NorthwesternU on our GlycoPRIME paper! “The dream is to create new-to-nature glycoproteins that could be made on-demand to develop new types of protein medicines.” @jewettlab_NU https://t.co/ohVz4hmhZB

[Weston Kightlinger @WKightlinger]

@jewettlab_NU @NUSynBio Fantastic job and huge thank you to my coauthors
@JessicaCStark @mattdelisa @_aravindnat
