= Anne Dell = From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Anne Dell CBE FRS FMedSci (b. 11 Sept 1950) is an Australian biochemist specialising in the study of glycomics and the carbohydrate structures that modify proteins. She is currently Professor of Carbohydrate Biochemistry at Imperial College London.

Dell was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2009 Birthday Honours.

Anne Dell is a biochemist who studies the role played by sugars in human health and disease. By determining how the sugar-rich layer that surrounds cells acts as an identifier, Anne’s work is helping to answer diverse biological questions such as how pathogens camouflage themselves against our immune system and how developing foetuses avoid being rejected.

Her research has led to the development of many ultrahigh sensitivity mass spectrometry methods for studying the structure of carbohydrates, with varied applications for biomedical research. In parallel, Anne established GlycoTRIC at Imperial College London, which works to promote the transfer of glycobiology to biomedical applications.

Anne has received numerous awards in recognition of her contributions to science, including the 2003 Haworth Memorial Lectureship of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the prestigious Roy L. Whistler International Award of the International Carbohydrate Organisation in 2000. She received a CBE in 2009 for her services to science. In 2011, she served as President of the Society for Glycobiology.

Anne's work could be used to figure out how pathogens are able to evade termination by the immune system which could be applied toward understanding how this occurs in fetuses. Her research has also led to the development of higher sensitivity mass spectroscopy techniques which have allowed for the better studying of the structure of carbohydrates.

Early life[edit | edit source]
Anne Dell was the youngest of seven children and grew up on a farm in the Australian outback, where she was educated at home by her mother using Correspondence School lessons until the age of eleven.

Education and research[edit | edit source]
After gaining a First Class Honours degree in Organic Chemistry from the University of Western Australia, Dell was awarded an 1851 Exhibition Scholarship to study for a PhD at the University of Cambridge. As she was awarded her PhD in 1975 her doctoral supervisor, Howard R. Morris, moved to Imperial College London as a lecturer in biochemistry and brought Dell with him. She would remain at Imperial for the rest of her career.
