Ke Shen received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Xiaoming Feng at Sichuan university. Then he joined the Lowary group at University of Alberta with the interest of chemical synthesis of complicated LOSs from Mycobacterium. His current research involves β-selective arabinofuranosylation and α-selective xylofuranosylation in the synthesis of LAMs. His research interests involves in development of new synthetic methodologies, designing and executing multi-step synthesis, optimizing chemical processes and scale-up of synthetic methods.
