Other research topics:
Biological chemistry of macromolecules involved in immunological processes - immunochemical studies of bacterial endotoxins.
1. Structural analysis of lipopolysaccharides, polysaccharides and glycoconjugates using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry in combination with chemical and biochemical methods.
2. Investigation of the relationship between the structure of bacterial endotoxins and their biological activities/physical properties.
3. Studies of glycoconjugate structures and ligand-receptor interactions using high-resolution NMR spectroscopy (HR-MAS NMR, STD-NMR), mass spectrometry (LC-MS, Ion-trap MS/MSn, MALDI-TOF) combined with SPR and FACS.
4. Developments of neoglycoconjugates as antibacterial and antiendotoxin vaccines – synthesis, immunochemical properties, immune response and protective activity.
Other methods/technologies:
structural analysis of glycolipids, e.g. lipopolysaccharide (NMR, mass spectrometry), glycoconjugates as vaccines, molecular basics of pathogen-lectin interactions, surface plasmon resonance.
