We combine glycobiology, immunology, biotechnology and cancer research, and use cutting edge technologies within these disciplines, including glycan microarray and glyco-nanotechnology.

Current interests include:

• Immunological mechanisms of unique anti-carbohydrate antibodies.
• Glycoimmunology in xenotransplantation, as members of the EU TRANSLINK consortium.
• Anti-carbohydrate antibodies in mucosal secretions and sera.
• Development novel diagnostics and therapeutics to chronic inflammation mediated diseases.

Technology:

• Characterizing carbohydrates content and changes focusing on sialic acids

• Qualitative and quantitative analysis of sialic acids by HPLC, glycan microarray, Western blot, ELISA in various biological samples (e.g. cells, glycosylated biotherapeutics etc)

• Glycan microarray and glyco-nanotechnology focusing on sialic acids containing glycans.
