Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Anne Dell CBE FRS FMedSci (born 11 September 1950)[1] is an Australian biochemist specialising in the study of glycomics and the carbohydrate structures that modify proteins.[2] Anne's work could be used to figure out how pathogens such as HIV 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. Anne also established GlycoTRIC[3] at Imperial College London, a research center that allows for glycobiology to be better understood in biomedical applications. She is currently Professor of Carbohydrate Biochemistry and Head of the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London.[4] Dell's other contributions to the study of Glycobiology are the additions she has made to the textbook "Essentials of Glycobiology"[5] Dell was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2009 Birthday Honours.[6]
