Our research program
is focused on understanding the role of complex oligosaccharides involved
in a host of biological processes of medical relevance by using synthetic
chemistry as a major tool. The central theme of this program is the development
of all aspects of solid phase oligosaccharide synthesis with the long-term
goal to develop a general, reliable, and rapid method for the assembly
of complex carbohydrates. In addition, we are interested in utilizing
synthetic carbohydates for disease prevention and as therapeutic agents.
