Dr. Babu is currently the Associate Director of Glycomics and Glycoproteomics Unit in Mass spectrometry facility and Biologics Characterization Facility. He has established a range of capabilities and protocols for the structural analysis of complex carbohydrates (glycans) and biologics/biosimilar physicochemical characterization. These facilities are intended to serve academia and the growing biopharma (biosimilars, biobetters and antibodies, etc.) industry. He received his Master’s degree in chemical sciences and then obtained Ph.D from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Post-doctoral research was carried out at IISc, Bangalore, Imperial College London, UK (UKIERI Fellow) and University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA. His research experience spans understanding the structure and functions of complex carbohydrates (glycans) under various biological contexts, including regeneration. For the structure elucidation of the glycans (N- and O-glycans, and glycolipids) and glycosaminoglycans he used tandem mass spectrometry techniques in conjunction with chemical, analytical and enzymatic methods. |
