Working Group 3

WG3: ANTIMICROBIAL AND ANTIVIRAL GLYCOMATERIALS

Objectives:

Studying antimicrobial and antiviral carbohydrate derivatives and bacterial adhesion Molecules. Specific tasks include:

(i) Discovery and understanding antimicrobial, antiviral and bacterial anti-adhesion molecules

(ii) Developing application methods and antimicrobial surface coatings.

WG3 Leader and Co-Leader: Marko Anderluh (SI); Roland Pieters (NL)

Carbohydrates are key players in biological processes, involved in a myriad of molecular recognition events from protein folding, cell cell communication, bacterial and viral infections to fertilization. Cell-surface carbohydrates can differ considerably between cell lines and also between healthy and disease states.
