Research areas
His research program is focused on the elucidation of the role of complex oligosaccharides involved in a host of biological processes of medical relevance by employing molecular tools created by synthetic chemistry. The core interests of his research program currently address the following areas: Carbohydrate chemistry, glycobiology, microreactors as tools for organic chemists, vaccine development, nanoparticles and colloidal polymers.
