Manager of synthesis core facility (SCF), supporting users as follows:
Organic synthesis:
Synthesis of natural product or bacterial metabolites; strategy development to label intermediate of interest; design and synthesis of wash-free fluorescent probe; synthesis and purification of oligonucleotide-peptide conjugates (OPC) with varied linkers.
Carbohydrate chemistry:
Synthesis and characterization of well-patterned sulfated sugars; Immobilization and NMR characterization of well-defined sulfated glycans on polyacrylic acid (PAA); Structure-guided synthesis of galectin inhibitors; Incorporation of BODIPY to thiodigalactoside as the fluorescent polarization (FP) probe for galectin binding assay: a better probe with bio-compatible, lifetime, stability and could be applied for cell-based experiments.
Laboratory design:
This is more like personal interest and I have managed labs for two PIs and involved in design and renovation of three labs.
