Research Interests
 

The long-standing research interests of our laboratory have been centered on the study of glucosidases as related to sphingolipidoses and other related disorders. We have been also working on the isolation and cloning of glycosidases useful for studying the structure and function of glycoconjugates and have discovered several unique and biomedically useful glycosidases.
