WP 1 : Smart Glycomaterials and Alpine Glycoressources | GlycoAlps

Work-package 1 research will focus on two major themes: the development of new glycomaterials at different scales (from medical devices to housing) and the study and valorization of glycoresources from the Alps.

Objectives

to take into account the environmental conditions in high altitudes as a source of biodiversity
to evaluate the molecular diversity of oligosaccharides in a well-established alpine resources, i.e. forest and wood;
to open a prospective long-term program on biodiversity (plants, microalgae, etc).
to develop vaolorisation of specific biomass (or by-products) coming locally from the Alps or pre-Alps

Description of the work

Task 1: Analyzing hemicellulose oligo and polysaccharides extracted from wood.
Task 2: Mapping the chemical diversity of glycomolecules from microalgae in the Alps.
Task 3: Organizing data in structure libraries and annotated databases.
