Our research focuses on polysaccharides and associated enzymes and techniques. We are especially interested in the diversity and evolution of polysaccharides and their biosynthesis and processing in natural and industrial systems. We have developed a set of versatile techniques for polysaccharide analysis that combine the high-throughput capacity of microarrays with the binding specificity of molecular probes like antibodies sand carbohydrate binding modules
