About
Nahid Razi is a pioneering researcher in chemical glycobiology, whose work has fundamentally advanced the study of carbohydrate-mediated interactions. Her primary research areas include the development of glycan microarray technologies, the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides, and the functional profiling of glycan-binding proteins. Razi's most impactful contribution is the invention of the printed covalent glycan array, a landmark achievement described in her 2004 paper, which has garnered over 1,099 citations. This technology enabled the high-throughput screening of diverse glycan-binding proteins—such as lectins, antibodies, and viral hemagglutinins—by immobilizing over 200 synthetic and natural glycan sequences on a single glass slide. By standardizing and miniaturizing glycan analysis, her work transformed the field, allowing researchers to rapidly map ligand specificity and uncover critical roles of glycans in infection, immunity, and cell signaling. Razi’s innovations have been instrumental in vaccine development and diagnostics, making her a foundational figure in modern glycobiology whose tools remain essential for researchers exploring the "sugar code" of life.
