Ferrier Lecture 2025
Professor Cristina De Castro
"The sweet, the sour, and the spicy sides of microbial glycans"
Professor De Castro’s presentation will highlight the relevance of structural chemistry of carbohydrates in different areas and cover a range of interesting examples, including ‘sweet’ glycans that exist in bacteria from the gut microbiota, ‘sour’ glycans that enable pathogens to elude immune surveillance and ‘spicy’ glycans, whose discovery has triggered many open points in glycobiology.
Announcing the 2024 Prize Winners
It is with great pleasure that we announce the winners of this year’s NZIC prizes: Professor David Barker, Professor Shane Telfer, Dr Lisa Pilkington, Associate Professor Michèle Prinsep, and Dr James Bridson. Please join us in congratulating these outstanding chemists.
