Work in our laboratory aims at the development and immediate application of new technologies for an analysis, assessment and description of the realization of cellular function from the information of Glycomics. New methods such as glyco-gene, glycan and lectin microarrays are directly applied to biological and biomedical studies. Concerning the analysis of human material and potential pandemic virus, the results of this basic research are expected to be developed into new approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and analysis of treatment.
