Research in the Group is concerned with diverse aspects of the chemistry of carbohydrates and proteins.

A multidisciplinary approach involving synthetic chemistry, molecular recognition methods (NMR, electrochemistry, calorimetry, etc.), and biophysics is followed to develop molecular sensors and drug carriers as well as to understand the mechanism of the binding interactions of proteins with bioactive molecules of therapeutic interest.

The research in the group is funded by regional, national and european institutions:
