Research is in the area of studies on biosynthesis, structure and function of glycoproteins.
There are four main areas currently under study. Acute phase reactants are serum glycoproteins that are elevated in injury due to increased synthesis. Of particular interest are alpha-1 acid glycoprotein and sialyltransferase. The control of synthesis, the structure and their role in the inflammatory process is under study. A morphological study coupled with cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry is aimed at localizing specific lysosomal enzymes in the Golgi complex in normal hepatocytes and in those from injured animals.
