Every living cell is coated with a dense layer of complex carbohydrates (or glycans) termed as glycocalyx. It plays critical roles in diverse biological processes, including cell signaling, molecular recognition, immunity, inflammation and pathogenesis. Working at the interface of Chemistry and Biology with a focus on Carbohydrate Chemistry, Microbial glycobiology, and Glycomics, we are trying to understand the structures and functions of glycans involved in infectious diseases and cancer.
