Abstract

BBSRC Research Development Fellowships are designed to enable UK university academic staff to devote themselves full-time to independent research. This is achieved by providing funds to the department to relieve the fellow of all significant teaching and administrative duties. This fellowship will enable Prof. S L Flitsch to focus on three project areas in carbohydrate chemistry and biology, which have all recently received funding due to start in 2001: 1) Development of chemical methods for the parallel synthesis of carbohydrate based libraries; 2) Identification of alpha-mannosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of the N-glycan core; used in the synthesis of the core saccharides; and 3) Develop methods to synthesize glycoproteins and study the role of glycans on protein structure and function.
