Woods DESCRIPTION:September 28th at 12:00\nOn-site event\nPresidentti auditorium\ nAutumn 2023 program\n\nProf. Robert J. Woods\, The University of Georgia\ , USA\nApplying computational simulations in the design of carbohydrate-bi nding proteins\nHost: Tiina Salminen (tiina.salminen@abo.fi)\n\nCoffee and sandwich at 11:45\, first come first served!\n\n \;\n\nSix students a nd early-career postdocs are welcome to have a lunch in restaurant Mauno a nd discuss with Prof. Woods after the seminar. This is a great possibility to learn hosting skills in friendly environment and create connections fo r future. Every student is welcome to join\, in spite of which research gr oup they belong to. BioCity Turku will offer the lunch.\n\nIf you got inte rested\, please send an email to biocityturku@bioscience.fi\n\n \;\n\n Glycans are often called as the dark matter of the biological universe sin ce they are involved in numerous important cellular functions but\, due to their highly complex and flexible nature\, they are difficult to study. P rof. Woods has developed computational tools\, which have been used to stu dy the role of glycans in infectious diseases\, inflammation\, and cancer. \n\n \;\n\nSelected publications\n\nWang X\, Hanes MS\, Cummings RD\, Woods RJ. Computationally guided conversion of the specificity of E-select in to mimic that of Siglec-8. Proc Natl Acad Ssi USA. 2022 Oct 11\;119(41) :e2117743119\n\nBerardinelli SJ\, Eletsky A\, Valero-González J\, Ito A\, Manjunath R\, Hurtado-Guerrero R\, Prestegard JH\, Woods RJ\, Haltiwanger RS.
