Martin Fascione (PI)
Martin leads an interdisciplinary glycoscience research group within the Department of Chemistry at the University of York, UK.
​
Martin received his Ph.D. from the University of Leeds in 2009 under the supervision of Prof. W. Bruce Turnbull on the stereoselective synthesis of 1,2-cis-glycosides. Following a postdoctoral period in Leeds, he was then awarded a Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowship to study the mechanisms of carbohydrate processing enzymes with Prof. Steve Withers, FRS, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada (2012-2013) and Prof. Gideon Davies, FRS, FMedSci, at the University of York, UK (2013-2014). In August 2014 he took up a lectureship in the York Structural Biology Laboratory, within the Department of Chemistry in York. His research interests include the chemical glycobiology of nonulosonic/sialic acids, synthetic and enzymatic carbohydrate chemistry, and the bioconjugation of proteins.
​
In 2022 he was awarded a five-year ERC Consolidator Grant (selected by the ERC, funded by UKRI).
