Glycogroup has been established in 1989. Over the years, we have been interested and engaged in a variety of projects including iminoalditols and iminosugars, carbohydrates as cheap renewable sources and the chemistry of glucose isomerase.
We are dedicated to high quality organic synthesis, simplification and synthetic shortcuts by avoiding protecting groups wherever possible or starting from unusual materials.
Glycogroup usually works "compound-oriented" driven by our curiosity for the biochemical activities of our products. Nonetheless, several projects such as the glucose isomerase period, have contributed to organic and carbohydrate methodology and mechanistic considerations.
Since 2005, we (Tanja Wrodnigg, Arnold Stütz) have successfully fostered and managed Glycogroup as a joined venture taking advantage of the synergism of our individual scientific interests and our passion for glycoscience.
We enjoy long term international collaborations with a long list of scientific leaders in their areas adding their particular expertise to our synthetic ideas and skills.
