Series editor Pavol Kovac, Ph.D., Dr. h.c., with more than 40 years of experience in carbohydrate chemistry and more than 270 papers published in refereed scientific journals or books, is a strong promoter of good laboratory practices and a vocal critic of the publication of experimental chemistry lacking data that allows reproducibility. He obtained an MSc in Chemistry at Slovak Technical University in Bratislava (Slovakia) and a PhD in Organic Chemistry at the Institute of Chemistry, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava. After postdoctoral training at the Department of Biochemistry, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana (R. L. Whistler, advisor), he returned to the Institute of Chemistry and formed a group of synthetic carbohydrate chemists, active mainly in oligosaccharide chemistry, which put the Institute on the map for quality synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. After relocating to the United States in 1981, he first worked at Bachem, Inc., Torrance, California, where he established a laboratory for production of oligonucleotides for the automated synthesis of DNA. In 1983 he joined the National Institutes of Health, where he is currently one of the Principal Investigators and Chief of the Section on Carbohydrates (NIDDK, Laboratory of Bioorganic Chemistry), the world's oldest research group continuously working on chemistry, biochemistry, and immunology of carbohydrates, originally established by America's greatest carbohydrate chemist, Claude S. Hudson. Dr. Kovac's main interest is in development of conjugate vaccines for bacterial diseases from synthetic carbohydrate antigens.
'The contributors are the best scientists in the field and the
series editor is highly respected. The volumes will ... be of use
to undergraduates involved in carbohydrate workshops.'
– Alexei Demchenko, Associate Professor of Chemistry and
Biochemistry, Director of Graduate Studies, University of Missouri
– St. Louis.‘This essential book series, focused on carbohydrate
synthesis, starts with a dedication to Nobel Laureate Sir John W.
Cornforth, who is credited with the first public criticism of what
he pictured as ‘pouring a large volume of unpurified sewage into
the chemical literature.’1 Unfortunately, this issue is not limited
to the field of chemistry as many high profile cases of
irreproducible experiments have led to alarms being set off even in
the popular press.2 This series then serves as the much-needed
water treatment plants – places where the reader can be guaranteed
a good clean reproducible experiment. … at least now chemists with
or without expertise in carbohydrates can count on finding reliable
procedures to make sugar-based compounds at one scale – a major
achievement. Not only should current practitioners gain back time
lost in attempts to properly reconstruct experimental procedures,
but these procedures should also allow more creative scientists to
contribute to this growing area. Cornforth JW. Austr. J. Chem.
