This @GlycoMip paper was a long time coming, but we're thrilled that it's out! Modeling from Parisa in @VT_ChE was critical to explaining the unusual nanostructures we observed.

Starting off 2025 with a brand new paper in Carbohydrate Polymers in collaboration with Deshmukh Group from VT Chem Eng.! Shoutout to Abby and all other co-authors on this achievement! doi.org/10.1016/j.carb…
