In January we received an award for our multi PI grant titled “Methods to Synthesize Oligosaccharide-Fusion Protein Conjugates and Enhancement of their Antigenicity”. The scope of the project includes oligosaccharide, protein, and adjuvant synthesis. The components will combined and evaluated as antibacterial vaccines. The 2.3 million dollar grant, awarded over 5 years, supports research in the Sucheck group as well as research in the groups of Prof. Katherine Wall and Prof. Erin Prestwich.
