Where the Sugars and the Proteins Play: Q&A With Mia Huang by Abbey Bigler-Coyne

https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/2024/07/where-the-sugars-and-the-proteins-play-qa-with-mia-huang/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery Mia Huang, Ph.D., studies sugar-coated proteins and how they interact with other proteins to help our cells function. She hopes that by better understanding these interactions, researchers can find ways to disrupt those involved in diseases such as cancer. In this Q&A, Dr. Huang shares not only her work, but also her thoughts on the role of creativity in science and why she became a researcher. Could a Spoonful of Sugar Be a Medicine? by Abbey Bigler-Coyne https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/2021/09/could-a-spoonful-of-sugar-be-a-medicine/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery Nearly every aspect of biology involves sugars, and researchers have only begun to explore these molecules’ complexities and potential uses. In this post, three NIGMS-supported scientists describe how their work with sugars could help fight bacterial infections, treat cholera, and more.
