RESEARCH INTERESTS:
The major thrust of our research lies at the crossroads of chemistry and biology.
Our group is currently working on two general areas:
- Carbohydrate chemistry and glycobiology, especially in sialic acid;
-
Studies on the structure-functional relationship of proteins and peptides;
我們的研究工作主要集中於兩個領域：醣化學及醣生物學和蛋白質結構與功能之間的關係。在研究過程中，應用了有機合成的方法及一些物理化學的儀器分析，歡迎有化學背景而對生命科學有興趣者加入。
