This course uses the current literature to teach advanced topics in carbohydrate engineering. Students will be required to read current papers, selected textbook chapters and online content to prepare for interactive teaching sessions with faculty and other students. Potential topics will include: sugars as information storage entities and signaling molecules; methods to manipulate and characterize complex carbohydrates in vivo, through chemoenzymatic methods, and emerging high-throughput methodology; carbohydrate-based drug development; and the role of sugars in stem cell biology and tissue engineering. Evaluation will be both by faculty and fellow students. Spring semester only.
