PARASITE GLYCOBIOLOGY & ANTI-PARASITE DRUG DISCOVERY

Welcome to the Ferguson Lab Website

Our research is multi-disciplinary and involves defining:

* the "structural repertoire" of the parasite glycoproteins
* the "biosynthetic repertoire" of necessary glycosyltransferases and processing enzymes needed to create the structural repertoire
* the "metabolic repertoire" of sugar nucleotides, and their biosynthetic and transporter proteins, needed to fuel the biosynthetic repertoire
