Overview

Parastoo Azadi is affiliated with the University of Georgia in the United States and focuses on research in the intersections of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, medicine, and agricultural and biological sciences. Their research covers a range of biological and chemical subfields, including molecular biology, plant science, infectious diseases, immunology, and organic chemistry.

The scientist's main research topics include glycosylation and glycoproteins, polysaccharides and plant cell walls, carbohydrate chemistry and synthesis, SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 research, bacteriophages and microbial interactions, monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies research, and polysaccharides composition and applications.

Recent published papers highlight investigations into the glycosylation of viral proteins and host receptors relevant to SARS-CoV-2. These include:

  • Deducing the N- and O-glycosylation profile of the spike protein of novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (2020, Glycobiology)
  • Comprehensive characterization of N- and O-glycosylation of SARS-CoV-2 human receptor angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (2020, Glycobiology)
  • Glycosylation of SARS-CoV-2: structural and functional insights (2021, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry)
  • Deducing the N- and O-glycosylation profile of the spike protein of novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (2020, bioRxiv [Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory])
  • Identification and Quantification of Glycans in Whole Cells: Architecture of Microalgal Polysaccharides Described by Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (2021, Journal of the American Chemical Society)

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Parastoo Azadi include Christian Heiß, Stephanie Archer-Hartmann, Ian Black, Asif Shajahan, and Lauren E. Pepi, reflecting a network of researchers often involved in glycoscience and molecular biology.

Parastoo Azadi publishes regularly in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Carbohydrate Polymers, Nature Communications, Glycobiology, and mBio. This range of journals aligns with the scientist's multi-disciplinary focus spanning biochemical and biophysical characterization of complex biomolecules.
