Assembling charged polysaccharides is challenging due to often poor reactivity of the building blocks.

I am looking very much forward to a great meeting on bioorganic chemistry this year in Milano!

Congratulations to @Johnjmol for becoming the 79 th coworker to be promoted to the rank of professor. The result of immense creativity and hard work by him and his team! The entire @BioMolSys @MpiciPotsdam is proud of you and miss you.

Controlling the 3D structure of #glycans allows increased binding to proteins- not just a curiosity but a powerful concept to develop better #vaccines

We have an opening for a PhD student in Molecular Biology / Vaccine Biology Max-Planck-Institut für Kolloid- und Grenzflächenforschung working on the campus of the Freie Universität Berlin in a brand new building as part of a strong international team. jobs.mpikg.mpg.de/jobposting…

Fungal infections are becoming a serious problem in hospitals around the world. Carbohydrates on the surface of the fungi are a quick way to detect them and eventually to prevent infections. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

Happy to report our latest paper on „A broadly applicable stereospecific glycosylation“ out in Nature Synthesis in collaboration with Liming Zhang nature.com/articles/s44160-0…
