The focus of our research is in Medicinal Chemistry. In particular, we are interested in carbohydrate-based antibacterials, antitumor agents and compounds involved in immunomodulation. In collaboration with researchers at the Faculty of Health Sciences, we are exploring biological properties, toxicity and modes of action of our lead structures. The ultimate goal is to identify drug candidates worthy for validation in clinical trials.
