Xuefei Huang Group

The major emphasis of our research is on chemistry and biology of carbohydrates.  Carbohydrates play important roles in many biological processes such as inflammation, tumor development, bacterial and viral infections. Detailed understanding of many of these processes is lacking.

Building on our strength in synthetic chemistry, we take a multi-disciplinary approach to study this important class of molecules. Our research encompasses several areas including synthesis, molecular imaging and targeted drug delivery aided by nanoparticles, as well as the development of novel immunotherapy against cancer and infectious diseases by targeting cell surface carbohydrate structures.
