Main lines of research
MICROARRAY BASED GLYCOMICS
• Solution and solid-phase synthesis of biologically important oligosaccharides .
• Development of glycan and lectin array-based tools for glycan biomarker discovery and the study of carbohydrate-protein interactions .
• Bioassays for carbohydrate processing enzymes .
GLYCONANOTECHNOLOGY
• Preparation of multivalent gold glyconanoparticles for studying biological interactions where carbo- hydrate are involved .
• Gold glyconanoparticles as microbicides and vaccines against pathogens (HIV, Streptococcus pneu- moniae) .
• Targeted biofunctional magnetic and fluorescent nanoparticles as multimodal probes for different imaging techniques (MRI, CT, PET) .
• Targeted magnetic nanoparticles for diagnosis of the vulnerability of atheroma plaques and neurode- generative diseases .
