LI Glycoscience Group
Welcome to the LI Glyco Group at Georgia State University
Every living cell is coated with a dense layer of complex carbohydrates, or glycans, known as the glycocalyx. This structure plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including cell signaling, molecular recognition, immunity, inflammation, and pathogenesis. At the intersection of Chemistry and Biology, with a particular focus on Carbohydrate Chemistry, Microbial Glycobiology, and Glycomics, our research aims to uncover the structures and functions of glycans involved in infectious diseases and cancer.
Interested in joining our Lab?
Our group is currently recruiting Ph.D.-level graduate students. We offer full support, including tuition waivers and monthly stipends. Graduate students will have the opportunity to develop advanced skills in carbohydrate chemistry, glycobiology, glycomics, and molecular biology as they work on cutting-edge research projects. Applicants with B.S. or M.S. degrees in biochemistry, organic chemistry, or biology are strongly encouraged to apply.
