A key quest of my research during the past 35 years has been to understand the structure and function of glycoconjugates in cell adhesion and signaling, studying the molecular and biochemical functions of surface and secreted glycoproteins in normal biological processes and disease. We study the molecular nature and specificity of protein-glycan in...
