Carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry, the application of modified glycosidases in the synthesis of glycosides, synthetic applications of modified enzymes in organic solvent media

Research interests are in i) carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry e.g., the application of modified glycosidases in the synthesis of glycosides, ii) synthetic applications of modified enzymes in organic solvent media, iii) non-immunogenic enzymes.
