Research Interest
 Immunogenetics of Histo-blood systems ABO, Lewis, and secretory status.  Our research group works on different aspects of histo-blood systems ABO, Lewis and Secretory status of ABH-Glycoconjugates and their relation to infectious diseases, Parasitic and others. The topics of our interest are: Analysis of histoblood systems ABO, Lewis and Secretory status in tissues and secretions, the profiles of glycoconjugates ABH--Lewis and their relationship to infectious and parasitic diseases; FUT1 gene polymorphisms (19q13. 3), FUT2 (region 19q13.3), FUT3 (19p13.3) and ABO (9q34.1) as markers of susceptibility to diseases, the isolation and characterization of immunochemical glycolipid ABH-Lewis and their applications in studies of adhesion of microorganisms.
