Professor Carmen Galan specializes in Organic Biological Chemistry, focusing on the synthesis of oligosaccharide structures and the study of carbohydrate-protein interactions. Her research has identified carbohydrates as important players in molecular recognition in biology and medicine, highlighting their importance in glycoproteins and glycolipids. Despite the challenges of oligosaccharide synthesis, Professor Galan's current work revolves around developing new synthetic techniques for the facile synthesis of oligosaccharide libraries and glycoconjugates, which can serve as drug analogues. She is also interested in creating multivalent platforms to explore carbohydrate-protein interactions within the context of disease. In addition to her research, Professor Galan has supervised projects at the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Chemical Synthesis, working on nanomaterial-based rapid diagnostics for tuberculosis and bio-inspired fluorescent carbon dots for detecting bacteria in physiological samples.
