Stacy Malaker is one of the three finalists selected to present their manuscripts during the manuscript competition in a dedicated plenary session at HUPO2024. A panel of experts will evaluate their talks to select the “Proteomics Highlight of the Year”. Stacy Malaker will be presenting her work: Glycoproteomic landscape and structural dynamics of TIM family immune checkpoints enabled by mucinase SmE.
Dr. Malaker is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Yale University. Her laboratory is focused on establishing methods and technology to study mucins, a class of densely O-glycosylated extracellular proteins, by mass spectrometry. Additionally, the laboratory studies mucins in a biological context, since these proteins play integral, yet poorly understood, roles in numerous diseases. Prior to her appointment at Yale, she received her B.S. from the University of Michigan in Biochemistry and Anthropology-Zoology. Dr. Malaker then went on to receive her PhD in Chemistry from the University of Virginia in the laboratory of Professor Donald Hunt. She continued to investigate the role of aberrant glycosylation in cancer as an NIH postdoctoral fellow in Professor Carolyn Bertozzi’s laboratory at Stanford University before starting at Yale in 2021.
