Research projects

PaCosValor (Producción biotecnológica de oligosacaridos de quitosano con estructura definida como inmunoestimulantes)

Escalado y valorización dequitooligosacáridos parcialmente acetilados como nutracéuticos que estimulan el sistema inmunológico.
GQBB – Biological and Biotechnological Chemistry

Glycoengin (Engineered Glycozymes in biocatalysis, metabolic engineering and bio-orthogonal chemical biology)

The general objective of the project is the application of Carbohydrate Active Enzymes (CAZymes), namely glycosidases glycosyltransferases and polysaccharide deacetylases, to the production of specialty oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates by both biocatalysis and metabolic engineering approaches, grounded on the engineering of substrate specificity (rational and by directed evolution) to achieve the synthetic application goals.
