Carmanah Hunter

Carmanah Hunter is a Research Fellow in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Science. Her work focuses on glycobiology, enzymology, and molecular mechanisms underlying polysialylation, neuraminidase activity, and glycan interactions. She investigates sex as a biological variable in glycobiological contexts and develops small-molecule inhibitors targeting glycosylation pathways.

Research interests include protein glycosylation, enzyme specificity, and the application of mass spectrometry for high-throughput glycan analysis. Her studies also explore antiviral drug design via molecular dynamics simulations and synthetic strategies for glycophospholipid probes.

Key research trends across her articles include polysialic acid biosynthesis regulation, neuraminidase isoenzyme selectivity, and the design of antimicrobial compounds. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned.
