Lectin Microarray Results Acknowledgements Bianca Batista William Eng

GOAL: To deconstruct the regulation of the complex, non-template driven synthesis of carbohydrates using high-throughput microarray methods STRATEGY: Isolate matched glycomic and transcriptomic samples from the NCI-60 panel, or metabolically perturbed cell lines and subject to a “systems biology ” approach of lectin and genomic microarray followed by the decomposition and integration of the data sets CONCLUSION: The lectin microarray platform is suitable to identify distinct, carbohydrate-based cell surface features which differentiate certain cancer tissue types
