"We are interested in the development of original materials based on oligo- or polysaccharides for tissue engineering, wound healing, drug delivery, and cosmetics. Our group cooperates with many internal and external research departments and universities. We are also participating in the transfer of synthetic methods into large scale production. The important part of our work is the analysis of chemical structures of our materials with advanced NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis and other methodologies. For our important business partners, we standardly offer scientific consultations or chemical synthesis based on customer requirements.”
