Yesterday, after 34+ years of excellence in teaching & research, Dr Julian Knight gave his last organic lecture at Newcastle. Then this happened...😍 Thanks so much to Julian, and all the staff and students that turned out to wish him well in his retirement! #WeAreNCL

Carbohydrate-active enzymes from Akkermansia muciniphila break down mucin O-glycans to completion - Nature Microbiology Biochemical characterization of 66 carbohydrate-active enzymes from the gut microorganism Akkermansia muciniphila reveals that these enzymes can break down a range of host glycans, including mucin, wh...

New paper out today from the lab on Akkermansia muciniphila 🦠and how it breaks down host glycans! Very proud of my group, especially @cassiebakshani.bsky.social who did an amazing job. @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social

Late posting this but back in December we had our annual Christmas Symposium with the @kawamuragroup.bsky.social (recently joined bsky). Great morning of science followed by an afternoon of festive fun. Feels a long time ago now!

Popped into #spudfest with some of the Kawamura group (not yet on bsky) for some potato wedges, potato soup and freebie potatoes grown on the @newcastleuni.bsky.social farms as part of ongoing research in @sciencesncl.bsky.social 🧪

The RSC Chemical Biology and Bioorganic Group is now on Bluesky and delighted to be here! We're really looking forward to keeping you all updated with the latest events and news from our community, across the UK and internationally. Spread the word to those you know, and give us a follow! #chembio
