Key objectives include: Investigating the...
This Project Grant award of $408,007 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop a technology called "glycosequencing" that uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to sequence and quantify glycan structures. The project will first identify an optimal set of lectins, biochemically characterize them, and prepare lectin barcoding for NGS. It will also build a training dataset using recombinant proteins produced in glycoengineered Chinese...
