research focuses on the functions and biosynthesis of glycoconjugates, including
carbohydrate-binding proteins (selectins and galectins) and glycosyltransferases.
David James,
Ph.D.
Dr. James is a Professor of Bioprocess Engineering, School of Engineering,

structural changes in the carbohydrate chains of monoclonal antibodies to
major changes in the ability of the antibodies to turn on immune effector
function.
James C. Paulson,
Ph.D.
Dr. Paulsen is the Director of the Consortium for Functional Glycomics,
which is funded by a $34 million NIGMS glue grant. He is a world renowned
glycobiologist and the inventor on several key patents licensed to Neose
that relate to core, enabling technologies for GlycoAdvance. Dr. Paulson
was formerly vice president of research and chief scientific officer of
Cytel Corporation prior to Neose's acquisition of Cytel's carbohydrate synthesis
technology in 1999.
