Therapeutic Opportunities in Glycoscience

Posted on: October 8th, 2020 by Karin King Ballering

NIH Science Event (WALS)
Wednesday, October 21, 2020, 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. EDT

Cell surface glycans constitute a rich biomolecular dataset that drives both normal and pathological processes. Their “readers” are glycan-binding receptors that can engage in cell-cell interactions and cell signaling. Our research focuses on mechanistic studies of glycan/receptor biology and applications of this knowledge to new therapeutic strategies. Our recent efforts center on pathogenic glycans in the tumor microenvironment and new therapeutic modalities based on the concept of targeted degradation.

JI Formative Assessments Due

Posted on: October 13th, 2020 by Karin King Ballering

A brief Mentor/JI report evaluating progress towards current year’s milestones and determining a plan
to address areas of weakness is due 10/26/20.

2020 NIH Virtual Seminar on Program Funding and Grants Administration

Posted on: October 5th, 2020 by Karin King Ballering

Who should attend?
The 2020 NIH Virtual Seminar on Program Funding and Grants Administration is especially valuable for those new to the grants process, including sponsored project officers and departmental administrators, investigators, faculty, graduate students, postdocs and others involved in the NIH grants process. The NIH Grants Process track provides the fundamentals, while the Grants Policies and Programs track and the Let’s Talk About It track have something for everyone.

What’s the goal of the Seminar?
The goal of the NIH Virtual Seminar on Program Funding and Grants Administration is to offer participants an unparalleled opportunity to gain a better perspective of NIH policies and programs, network with their peers, and gather helpful NIH contacts, so that they may return to their offices and/or labs with useful information, resources, and tools to assist in obtaining and managing NIH awards.
