Biography:
Suri S. Iyer is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry in the Sensor division. He has broad research interests in carbohydrate chemistry and the application of stable carbohydrate ligands to biosensor platforms. His doctoral work under the direction of Prof. Malcolm Chisholm encompassed the synthesis and application of C-3 symmetric chiral single site metal alkoxides for the polymerization of lactides and lactones. He then moved to the Emory School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA where he worked under the tutelage of Professor Elliot Chaikof to develop heparin sulfate and hyaluronan mimetics. Heparin sulfate and hyaluronan are important carbohydrates that are involved in several biological processes such as anticoagulation, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis and have significant potential applications as wound-healing agents and antiviral drugs. He continued his work in carbohydrate chemistry in the Biosensor Group at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, NM. Suri was involved in the application of the Los Alamos Biosensor platform, a membrane based detection platform that allows proximity induced fluorescence resonance transfer in response to multivalent binding events, to detect and differentiate between various types of Influenza virus.
