Dr. Eugene A. Cioffi is presently working as an Associate Professor in Department of Pharmacology at University of South Alabama, United States. He completed Ph.D. at University of Connecticut. He has more than 10 articles in his name. His research study includes the study of carbohydrates within biological systems has illustrated that are involved in key biological functions such as cell-cell, cell-matrix, and cell-molecule interactions critical to the development and function of a complex multi-cellular organism. These glycans act as mediators in the interactions between different organisms (e.g., between a host and pathogen), and their high intra- and surficial cellular abundance denotes their key roles as recognition and regulatory molecular switches. An increasingly diverse and complete paradigm of molecular biology thus includes the glycans and covalently-linked glycoconjugates, in the context of proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and glycolipids.
