Research?
Carbohydrates are essential building blocks of polysaccharide structures and glycans on the?
microbial and human cell. Interactions of these carbohydrates with proteins that?
synthesize, recognise or modify them are essential steps in a wide range of processes such?
as microbial cell wall synthesis/recognition, cell signalling pathways and the human immune?
system. ?I am interested in studying the structural aspects and mechanism of protein-
carbohydrate interactions, and applies the knowledge gained from these approaches to design?
molecules that modulate these interactions in biological systems and have applications as?
research tools or leads for the development of chemotherapeuticals. We use a?
multidisciplinary approach, involving X-ray crystallography, enzymology, mutagenesis,?
affinity measurements, high-throughput screening and novel computational techniques.?
