The Ben Lab

Congratulations to Dr. Anna Ampaw @anna_thechemist who successfully defended her doctoral thesis today! Great job! Wish you continued success in your new position @GunningLabUofT

@RatmirDerda Congrats!!

To-do: delete the word "Associate" from my title in CV and website during my lunch. Passing the finish line in a marathon, pausing to tween about it and then just continue running for ~30 years or until the end of the runway (whichever comes first).

🥳 Congratulations to GlycoNet-affiliated start-up @48HourDiscovery and Network Investigator @RatmirDerda, who are featured in @TCS_SDC's #CanadExport magazine today for their trail-blazing achievement in drug discovery: tradecommissioner.gc.ca/canadexport/00…

#DYK when you freeze cells to sub-zero🌡, water forms ice crystals inside and punches through the cell membrane? At @ualberta today, @BenLabuOttawa talks about designing additive molecules that inhibit ice recrysrallization, thereby preventing cell damage during cryopreservation.

"Researchers and industry leaders are finding inspirations in the work of others and creating collaborations to deliver concrete health solutions.” Here are some highlights to recapitulate what happened in the Canadian #Glycomics Symposium. bit.ly/glycosymposium #glycotime

Could you pitch your research in 3 minutes, using only 3 slides? Our trainees rose up to the challenge in a lightning ⚡️round pitch session. #CGSBanff @Alchemikel @Erum_Razvi @BenLabuOttawa

@Carletonchem Thanks for stopping by! 😂

The Ben Lab has a visitor today!

We are excited about our 4th Canadian #Glycomics Symposium that will take place at Banff, May 15-17! Tweet and follow #CGSBanff for all Symposium highlights! Check out our #speakers: bit.ly/glycoSpeakers #conference #networking

Congrats to Scott, Odile, and Sandra who presented their honours projects yesterday. Great work! @uOttawaResearch @uOttawaScience

Congratulations to August who presented her research at the #UROP symposium today! @uOttawaScience @uOttawaResearch

Welcome to our new graduate student Marcus!

@glyconet_nce @RobertB15845363 Yes! We’re hoping the #elevatorselfie catches on with the other @glyconet_nce members

@BenLabuOttawa @RobertB15845363 Rob, your group may have just started a new trend, the #elevatorselfie 🤳

This elevator shot is definitely our favourite group picture yet!

Coming up on #InnovationAnthology on #CKUA 7:56 am - Dr Robert Ben explains the exciting carbohydrate science behind #PanTHERA CryoSolutions - synthesizing nature's #antifreeze in frogs will give more longterm viability to frozen blood products

Our Network Investigator @BenLabuOttawa of @PanTheraCryo is on @ckuaradio Oct. 2 at 7:56 am (MST). #glycomics #cryopreservation

We created 3 #Yeg based startup companies delivering commercial outcomes in molecular discovery, cryopreservation and prostate cancer screening. Learn about partnership opportunities with these companies. youtu.be/BBr79Gg-h7o #yegstartup @48HourDiscovery @PanTheraCryo
