Funded Activity Summary

Carbohydrates and Carbohydrate-Recognising Proteins as Drug Discovery Targets. The significance and roles of carbohydrates in many biological processes, in particular those processes associated with disease, is now well-recognised. These new directions have captured the attention and imagination of not only academic research groups across the world, but also pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and has restimulated their interest in the pursuit of carbohydrate-based drugs and drugs against carbohydrate-recognising proteins critical in disease processes. The current application seeks to use some of this information to faciliate the discovery of novel carbohydrate-based chemical entities as inhibitors of the spread of some cancers and diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms.
