Profile Dr. Maria Tuohy is a lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry, NUI, Galway, and research PI of the Molecular Glycobiotechnology Group, which has significant expertise in the structure-function analysis, molecular genetics, regulation and biotechnological application of eukaryotic glycoproteins and novel biocatalysts, including carbohydrate-modifying enzymes and proteases, many of which are derived from fungal sources. In addition the group is investigating the bioactive potential of key algal polysaccharides, i.e. laminaran and fucoidan, and in parallel the cell biology and function of important cell-surface carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins), using proteomics and genomics approaches.
