Glycoscience Research Activities

Understanding fundamental questions in structural and functional glycomics via a multidisciplinary carbohydrate research program that combines:

  1. Primary / 3D structural analysis of polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycoprotein glycans.
  2. Organic / enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharide fragments of polysaccharides and glycoprotein glycans.
  3. Carbohydrate-protein and carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions at the molecular level.

The various research themes in the carbohydrate program are directed to a better understanding of carbohydrate-related biological phenomena, and may generate leads to solve biomedical/pharmaceutical and food-technological/rheological problems.

1969 - Structural aspects of polysaccharides, glycoprotein and glycolipid glycans, and oligosaccharides from physiological fluids
1984 - Synthesis of oligosaccharide fragments of polysaccharides and glycoprotein glycans
1994 - Carbohydrate - mediated interaction studies
1976 - 1981 Analysis and synthesis of amino acids, peptides and organic acids accumulated in physiological fluids of patients (in collaboration with the Wilhelmina Children's Hospital, Utrecht University)
