Research Lab Leader/

I am young women researcher highly motivated to consolidate an independent and modern line of research that tackles questions of utmost importance in glycoscience. Glycan-protein interactions play a key role in health and disease mechanisms. This includes the development of innate and adaptive immunity, the progress and spread of cancer, responses to pathogens etc.
