Requester Interest
:
The Cummings' group studies the structure and biosynthesis of glycan-based ligands for carbohydrate-binding proteins (selectins and galectins) and the biological functions of protein-carbohydrate interactions in regulating cell adhesion, signaling, and cell turnover in a variety of systems, including humans, animals, C. elegans and parasitic worms. This laboratory also studies the specific cellular and humoral immune responses to glycan antigens expressed by parasites in infected animals.
