Glycan-based biomolecules for Immunobiology
Our main research interests focus on investigating the role of immunomodulatory glycans, glycolipids, and pathogen-associated molecular patterns in the host immune response to infection and inflammation. This includes exploring glycan-protein interactions, as well as the chemical synthesis of carbohydrate-based biomolecules, glycoconjugates, immunomodulatory glycolipids, and adjuvants.
We are also committed to the development of unnatural glycan-based biomolecules for therapeutic immunomodulation and as tools to investigate the structural and molecular mechanisms underlying host innate immune receptors activation.
