In our lab we explore the fundamental biological roles of protein glycosylation—the process of attaching sugar molecules to proteins—which drives key cellular processes such as signal transduction, cell adhesion, and intracellular trafficking.
Developing advanced glycoproteomics technologies, we investigate the dynamic and site-specific glycosylation of proteins, uncovering how these modifications shape protein function and mediate interactions between cells and their environment. By decoding the complexity of the glycoproteome, we aim to address broader biological questions about how glycosylation regulates cellular communication, development, and adaptation across diverse systems.
In addition to cutting-edge research, our lab is deeply committed to education and training. We understand our lab as a place for teaching practical skills in biochemical techniques and methods, offering students hands-on lab experience in curiosity-driven research projects, at all levels. By guiding students through their own projects, we provide them with the opportunity to explore grow as independent and innovative scientists.
