A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

Mosquitoes were orally infected with the chikungunya virus. Midguts were dissected at day 5 post-infection, fixed and permeabilised. Virus is shown in red (anti-E2 protein, cyanine 3), the actin network in green (phalloidin 548) and nuclei in blue (DAPI).

About

Members of the Unit “Chemistry of Biomolecules” contribute to multidisciplinary programs aimed at

  1. Validating biological targets of medical interest,
  2. Developing novel strategies towards chemically designed therapeutics, markers, diagnostic tools and vaccines,
  3. Investigating the role that some proteins, polysaccharides, and glycoconjugates play in disease progression and microbial pathogenesis in humans.

Major focus is on the development of efficient synthetic routes to novel oligosaccharides, glycopeptides, lipopeptides, peptides, and protein conjugates thereof. Two synthetic carbohydrate-based vaccine candidates developed in the unit are on their way to a phase one clinical trial. One of the two GMP batches has been obtained.

Use of nanobodies for imaging plaques and tangles in Alzheimer’s disease

Pierre Lafaye (PI)

Homodimeric VHHs offer new perspectives for in vivo immunodiagnosis. Because of their small size of about 12-14 kDa, VHHs rapidly pass the renal filter, which has a cutoff of about 60 kDa, resulting in […]
