Anthony SerianniProfessor Serianni's scientific research interests include methods development for site-specific isotopic labeling of carbohydrates and their derivatives, synthesis and conformational studies of simple and complex carbohydrates related to the N-glycas of human glycoproteins by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, crystallography and other biophysical techniques, applications of molecular orbital theory and molecular dynamics to aid in the interpretation of NMR parameters in saccharides, and structure-function studies of non-enzymic protein glycation and chemical evolution. Professor Serianni has co-authored over 160 peer-reviewed research papers, and has been a recipient of the Horace S. Isbell Award (1988) from the Division of Carbohydrate Chemistry, American Chemical Society, and the Melville L. Wolfrom Award from the Division of Carbohydrate Chemistry, American Chemical Society (2006). He has also received the John Boezi Memorial Alumnus Award from Michigan State University (2001) and the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Albright College (1996). Prof. Serianni is an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2010), a fellow of the American Chemical Society (2012), and a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2012). Prof. Serianni has served on multiple NIH and NSF grant review panels, and has served as an editor of Carbohydrate Research (an international journal in carbohydrate chemistry). He has taught multiple courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels ranging from advanced NMR spectroscopy to principles of sustainability.

Professor Serianni co-founded Omicron Biochemicals, Inc. in 1982, a biotech company specializing in the synthesis of stable isotopically labeled carbohydrates, nucleosides and their derivatives. Omicron supplies >1000 non-GMP and cGMP products. The company has served as a critical resource for researchers in the glycoscience field. Read More Read Less
