NEW PREPRINT: Spatial mapping of cell-surface protein glycosylation at molecular resolution🍭🍬🔬
For the first time, we can analyze the spatial architecture of the cell-surface glycoproteome at single-protein and single-sugar resolution. #glycotime

Excited to see this one out in JACS! We analyzed how molecular interactions lead to self-organization of glycolipids down to microseconds and nanometer spatiotemporal scales. Amazing collaboration with @SandoghdarLab, @biomemphys, and Thisbe Lindhorst!
