Synthesis and Characterization of Glycomaterials for Antibacterial Applications
Every year, millions of people contract antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, and tens of thousands die from infection-related complications in the United States alone. Bacterial infections are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, especially in healthcare institutes such as hospitals …

Polysaccharide controls on the kinetics and thermodynamics of CaCO₃ nucleation: Insights for biological crystallization and other biofunctions
… to biomineralization, yet our knowledge of how glycomaterials influence biological processes is limited compared to proteins. We particularly lack a quantitative understanding of how differences in the functional group compositions and positions on polysaccharides direct the heterogeneous …

Synthesis and Characterization of Polymeric Materials as Sequestrants for Biological Applications
To address the systemic toxicity attributable to doxorubicin (Dox) following targeted chemotherapy treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma, we explored drug-capture strategies using both DNA-functionalized substrates and synthetic polymeric materials. DNA-modified cotton substrates were prepared …

A Systematic Study of Sialic-Acid-Containing Poly(styrene sulfonate) for Antiviral Applications
This dissertation presents the development of a versatile and modular synthetic platform for constructing functional copolymers using post-polymerization modification (PPM) of activated esters. By decoupling the synthesis of the polymer backbone from the introduction of functional groups, this …
