1. Glycoconjugates : synthesis and investigation of carbohydrate-protein interactions
Abstract : To study the functions of glycoconjugates in biological systems reliable and efficient protocols for glycoconjugate synthesis are needed. To reach this goal we have developed methods for solid-phase synthesis of glycoconjugates that can be monitored with gel-phase 19F spectroscopy using fluorinated linkers, building blocks, and protecting groups.

2. Carbohydrate-Based Inhibitors of Pathogen Adhesion to Cell Surface Glycoconjugates
Abstract : The fact that a growing number of pathogens develop resistance against traditional treatment is a growing medical problem. Infections, which until now have been harmless, might turn into life threatening diseases. These problems have led to an intensified search for alternative treatments. Analogs of cell surface glycoconjugates are an alternative. READ MORE

3. Sorption and Surface Complexation of Plutonium
Abstract : Plutonium is a constituent of spent nuclear fuel. As such, its behavior in contact with the surfaces of solids is of interest. This behavior will affect the migration of plutonium in case it is released into the environment. The chemistry of plutonium is rather complex. READ MORE

4. Heterometallic Oxo-Alkoxides of Europium, Titanium and Potassium
Abstract : Coordination compounds of europium and titanium with oxide, ethoxide (OCH2CH3), iso-propoxide (OCH(CH3)2) and tert-butoxide (OC(CH3)3) ligands have been studied. These belong to the general class of oxo-alkoxides, MxOy(OR)z, with alkoxide ligands (OR) containing an organic, aliphatic part R. READ MORE

5. Modulation of the inflammatory response in experimental bacterial meningitis
Abstract : In bacterial meningitis, tissue damage in the central nervous system (CNS) is inflicted by the host's inflammatory response to invading pathogens, rather than by the bacteria itself. Adjuvant treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs in experimental bacterial meningitis has demonstrated beneficial effects on CNS pathology. READ MORE
