NSERC Presents 2 Minutes With David Bundle
Amid growing concern that many micro-organisms are becoming resistant to the drugs traditionally used to fight them, The Alberta Carbohydrate Science Group is working to help solve the problem. The five team members are focussing their cross-disciplinary expertise on the function of the glycome mdash;the entirety of a cell #39;s carbohydrates mdash;to determine the fundamentals of cell communication. Understanding the molecular basis of the "glycocode" is necessary to battle human and animal infections through evidence-based design of vaccines that prevent infections and therapeutics that will neutralize toxins. This will help avoid the selective pressure that drives antibiotic resistance. The research team mdash;David Bundle, John Klassen and Todd Lowary of the University of Alberta; and Glen Armstrong and Kenneth Ng of the University of Calgary mdash;integrates bioanalytical mass spectrometry, protein crystallography, synthetic chemistry and microbiology to make discoveries that are recognized to be at the forefront of glycobiology.
