Saint Louis University received a $149,995 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on September 1, 2021 to support research efforts through August 31, 2022. The grant was awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these scientific fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. Specifically, the funding will support the awardee's work on "Stereoselective Glycosylation via H-Bond-Mediated Aglycone Delivery." This project seeks to develop new methods for synthesizing carbohydrates through selectively controlling the orientation and configuration of sugar molecules attached to other organic compounds. The work has potential implications for applications in pharmaceuticals and other industries relying on complex carbohydrate structures. The awardee, located in St. Louis, Missouri, will utilize the grant to advance this glycosylation research over the one-year period.
