- 1) Development of chemical probes to study the role of sphingolipids in biological processes, including autophagy.
- 2) Development of pharmacological chaperones of mutated enzymes in rare diseases.
- 3) Development of high throughput screening methods for the discovery of new compounds or the repurposing of existing drugs as modulators of sphingolipid metabolism and functions.
The Research Unit on Bioactive Molecules is willing to collaborate with groups in the biological and biomedical field with our expertise in the design, synthesis and validation of chemical tools. Our expertise in lipidomics is also offered.
