Institute of Analytical Chemistry
... performs research on the development and application of analytical methods with a major focus on elemental, stable isotope ratio and molecular mass spectrometry, as well as separation techniques and elemental imaging.
Institute of Biochemistry
Major research topics at the institute of biochemistry are glycobiology (glycoprotein analysis - Altmann, glycobiology of invertebrates - Staudacher, molecular glycobiology - Wilson), protein biochemistry (Furtmüller, Obinger) and NanoGlykobiology (Schäffer).
Institute of Organic Chemistry
Research at the Institute of Organic Chemistry centers on the chemical biology of glycans. Key expertise is the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of plant and bacterial glycans, glycophospholipids, and sugar nucleotides, as well as glycan analysis by NMR-spectroscopy. The synthesized glycans are important probes for immuno- and biochemical experiments that are relevant in the agricultural and biomedical sciences.
