Vincent FERRIERES
Summary
Researches by V. Ferrières are related to the design and the synthesis of bioactive glycoconjugates according to both chemical and chemo-enzymatic approaches (home-made biocatalysts). The main studied molecular targets are rare glycofuranosyl-containing conjugates, and beta-(1,3)-glucans. The application fields are immunostimulation, anti-parasitic drugs fighting neglected diseases and alternative anti-cancer treatments.
