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.
