- The GlycoWeb programme led by BDI's Cathy Merry, Professor of Stem Cell Glycobiology, will look at the link between the structure and function of cell-surface sugar biomolecules called Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). GAGs have been shown to play critical roles in a multitude of biological processes, including cell signalling and development and host-pathogen interactions. The team assembled for this programme will apply a diverse set of approaches to address fundamental knowledge gaps surroudning GAGs using an ambitious multidisciplinary approach, integrating analyses at the transcriptional through to the multicellular level.

- Professor Cathy Merry has developed synthetic hydrogels that support 3D culture for multiple cell types and used NC3Rs funding to support their application across multiple scientific disciplines. Cathy has formed many collaborations to enable the wider uptake of the synthetic hydrogel technology and through the BBSRC ICure programme and Innovate UK has co-founded PeptiMatrix, to provide more research groups access to synthetic hydrogels. Hear from Cathy, Dr Jennifer Ashworth, Professor Anna Grabowska and Dr Johnathan Curd about the synthetic hydrogel technology and its applications in research.
