Research Overview
Glycans have complex and diverse structures that play essential functions in various biological phenomena. I focus on utilizing glycan as tools for the development of functional molecules, including antibody modification and the exploration of inhibitors using synthetic glycan scaffolds. Through the analysis of synthetic carbohydrate molecules, I aim to elucidate and control functions of glycan that can only be achieved through the chemical synthesis of carbohydrate structures.
