Research Focus
Glycans are important biomolecular regulators, yet their structural complexity often precludes detailed analysis of their functions. The Huang Lab investigates questions in chemical glycobiology related to the study of stem cell differentiation, musculoskeletal research, or cancer. We seek to develop strategies to illuminate the mechanisms through which glycans orchestrate these biological events. The Lab employs techniques in synthetic chemistry, mass spectrometry, and protein engineering to illuminate fundamental mechanisms involved in glycan-protein biology.
