  • 2010 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Alan G. Darvill is affiliated with the University of Georgia in the United States. Their research primarily spans the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Chemistry. Within these fields, Darvill has contributed notably to subfields including Molecular Biology and Organic Chemistry.

Their work focuses on several main research topics: glycosylation and glycoproteins research, carbohydrate chemistry and synthesis, and genomics and phylogenetic studies. These areas reflect an interdisciplinary approach combining aspects of biochemistry and molecular biology with chemical synthesis techniques.

Darvill has published in the journal Glycobiology, covering topics related to carbohydrate structures and their biological roles. A recent publication from 2023 is titled "Cataloging natural sialic acids and other nonulosonic acids (NulOs), and their representation using the Symbol Nomenclature for Glycans". This paper provides an overview of specific carbohydrate molecules and their standardized representation.

Their research collaborations include working with several colleagues, namely:

  • Amanda L. Lewis
  • Filip V. Toukach
  • Evan Bolton
  • Xi Chen
  • Martin Frank

Alan G. Darvill has also been recognized as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) since 2010. This distinction is awarded for contributions within the scientific community.
