CAZypedia needs your help!
We have many unassigned pages in need of Authors and Responsible Curators. See a page that's out-of-date and just needs a touch-up? - You are also welcome to become a CAZypedian. Here's how.
Scientists at all career stages, including students, are welcome to contribute.

After completing graduate studies at the University of Waterloo in the Department of Biology, Darryl joined the group of Dr. Wade Abbott at the Agriculture and Agri-Food CanadaLethbridge Research and Development Centre. As a member of Dr. Abbott's research team Darryl has been engaged in the identification and characterization of CAZymes from the intestinal microbiome, and the development of technologies involving carbohydrate modification for agricultural and intestinal health applications.
Darryl has contributed to studies of CAZymes from the following families:
Glycoside Hydrolases
Polysaccharide Lyases
