Professor Cristina De Castro
"The sweet, the sour, and the spicy sides of microbial glycans"
Professor De Castro’s presentation will highlight the relevance of structural chemistry of carbohydrates in different areas and cover a range of interesting examples, including ‘sweet’ glycans that exist in bacteria from the gut microbiota, ‘sour’ glycans that enable pathogens to elude immune surveillance and ‘spicy’ glycans, whose discovery has triggered many open points in glycobiology.
