Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Marie-Claude Blanchard"
- Marie-Claude Blanchard's research primarily focuses on the characterization of glycosyltransferases, particularly those involved in the synthesis of polysialic acid-containing glycoconjugates, which have potential therapeutic implications.
- In her notable 2008 study, she explored the alpha-2,8-polysialyltransferase from Neisseria meningitidis and the development of a self-priming polysialyltransferase fusion enzyme, underscoring the importance of enzymatic synthesis for evaluating biological activities of glycoconjugates.
- Another study published in 2007 investigated the beta 1,3-galactosyltransferase CgtB from Campylobacter jejuni, revealing distinct acceptor specificities that correlate with in vivo oligosaccharide structures, demonstrating her focus on the functional diversity of glycosyltransferases.
