In 2010, he received a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Wayne State University for his work on the chemical synthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors, which was supervised by Prof. Zhongwu Guo. After 3 years as a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley ...

Medical Glycoscience

Glycoscience -- a new frontier in rational drug design.

Glycans are the most abundant and most diverse biopolymers in nature. Because of their highly specific interactions with physiological receptors, they participate in many crucial biological processes. All these processes are potential targets for therapeutic intervention, and carbohydrate-based drugs are rapidly being taken up by the modern biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry. Recent deve...

Glycoscience@Synchrotron: Synchrotron radiation applied to structural glycoscience

Synchrotron radiation is the most versatile way to explore biological materials in different states: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, solution, colloids and multiscale architectures. Steady improvements in instrumentation have made synchrotrons the most flexible intense X-ray source. The wide range of applications of synchrotron radiation is commensurate with the structural diversity and compl...
