Atlanta—ACS Spring 2026, a meeting of the American Chemical Society, began with a flurry of talks early Sunday morning. During a session hosted by the Division of Biochemistry and Chemical Biology ...

Immunologists from the Institute have been the first to uncover a role for a family of RNA binding proteins in the function of regulatory T cells in the immune system. As their name suggests, ...

In 2021, research led by Ryan Flynn, MD, PhD, and his mentor, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, opened a new chapter in biology, characterizing a new kind of player on the cell surface: glycoRNAs.

In 2021, the lab of chemical biologist and Nobel Laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, professor at Stanford University, characterized a new type of cell-surface protein, termed glycoRNAs, that form highly ...
