Basic and applied research on carbohydrates and carbohydrate-active enzymes.

We are performing research into the structure, synthesis, and enzymology of complex carbohydrates at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. We have educational backgrounds in chemistry, plant science, microbiology, and biochemistry. We are committed to research that promotes responsible usage of natural resources, and we think that complex carbohydrates are the best biomolecules.

Introducing Glycolink, a new start-up company

One of the projects ongoing in our group at KTH aims to develop the use of carbohydrate-binding proteins as polysaccharide cross-linkers in hydrogels and viscous formulations. We see this technology as a sustainable, fossil-free, and catalyst-free alternative to hydrogels made from petrochemicals and chemically modifed biopolymers. In 2021, the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences…
