Infectious diseases
Researchers at GlycoNet examine the epidemiology, pathogenesis and treatment of infectious diseases. There is significant depth in research on immunology, vaccines, multi-drug resistance, host-pathogen interactions, and mechanisms of inflammation. With cutting-edge programs and industrial collaborations, we are addressing the unmet medical needs through:
- Developing high throughput technology to accelerate the discovery of therapeutics for infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria
- Examining the glycans produced by antibiotic-resistant bacteria and translating the discoveries to treatments for cystic fibrosis
- Employing non-antibiotic strategies to maintain bird intestinal health
- Understanding how glycan-processing enzymes modulate the immune system to respond to different infections
