Research Interests:
Dr. Zhu’s lab is interested in using organic chemistry and biochemistry tools to answer sugar related questions in biological pathways and human diseases. Glycosylation (sugar modification) is a critical post-translational modification for human health. They use organic chemistry and biochemistry tools to take a close look at how sugars are involved in human health at the molecular level. Their current research focus is using synthetic chemistry to decipher the functions of glycosylation in the signaling pathways of immune cells.
