Research
Glycosylation — the attachment of sugar chains to proteins and lipids — is not a static modification. My research centres on understanding how cells dynamically remodel their surface glycan landscape to control fundamental processes including endocytosis, cell differentiation, and immune evasion. Rather than treating glycans as fixed structural features, I investigate how their composition is actively regulated by signalling and metabolic programmes to drive rapid, reversible changes in cell state.
