RESEARCH FOCUS ON
GLYCOSTRUCTURES
Synthetic Carbohydrate Chemistry:
Glycoside synthesis, preparative studies of antibiotic and cytostatic
oligosaccharides, synthesis of complex saccharide conjugates, preparations
of carbohydrate mimetics, photochemical transformation of carbohydrate
derivatives. ...more
Preparative Chemoenzymatic Synthesis:

of oligosaccharides, use of further enzyme systems for preparative
purposes. ...more
Carbohydrates as Chemical Feedstock:
Studies on the synthesis of polymers (polyesters, -urethanes, -ethers,
-amides) from saccharide building units, work in the field of saccharide
based surfactants. ...more
