研究领域
Ubiquitously decked on the surfaces of all cell types in nature, carbohydrate molecules play central roles in the development, cooperation and vitality of an organism. Deciphering sugar codes becomes feasible as synthetic methods and biological evaluation protocols are established.
The research program in our group integrates organic chemistry, chemical biology, medicinal chemistry and materials chemistry. A special emphasis is placed on training and research in carbohydrate synthesis and on the utilization of this expertise in addressing problems of medicinal and biochemical significance.
I. Carbohydrate chemistry
II. Glycopeptides, glycoproteins and glycobiology
III. Medicinal chemistry
IV. Functional materials
