Congrats to @SarahNSwilley on this great achievement. Such fun to do this twice with you!
Congratulations to our Lab Mom Dr. @SarahNSwilley for defending her cotutelle PhD from Maastricht University @MERLN_UM under the co-supervision of @TheDrBaker.
Cheers to the first ever "doctor-squared" of the Matson Lab.

We are looking for a postdoc to join @KnightGroupUNC ! Interested in the interface of peptide and polymer chemistry with applications in therapeutics and nanomaterials? Send questions or an application with a cover letter, CV, and statement of previous research.

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!

Congrats to Sarah! Hard to imagine @VTChemDept and @MatsonLab_VT without you! Fortunately we still have you for just a little longer. Congratulations on a huge accomplishment, Dr Swilley!
Congrats to PhD #17, Dr. @SarahNSwilley a.k.a. our LAB MOM! We are overjoyed to have you with us over the past years as an awesome chemist and being a one-stop solution to all the problems in the Matson Lab! All the best for your future endeavors and we shall miss you!!
Excited to share this collaborative paper led by Zhao in @MatsonLab_VT with the group of @PolBesenius at JGU in Mainz. We show how the charge state of a triggering thiol affects H2S release in a self-assembled peptide. Thanks @AvHStiftung for support! #h2s doi.org/10.1039/D4OB01148A

When it is too hot and sunny outside, the Matson crew loves to pose for an indoor group picture!!
So glad to have both of you here! Thanks @GlycoMip and #GlycoTREE.
