Research Interest

They strive to exploit the power of synthetic small molecules for development of tools for ‘glycomics/glycoproteomics’, carbohydrate-based inhibitors, and synthetic oligosaccharide-based conjugate vaccines. Using ‘chemical biology’ approaches we are investigating structure-function relationships of glycoforms of leukocyte antigens, engineering of glycans in central nervous system (CNS), and glycopeptidomimetics based anti-metastatic agents.
