Outline
Exchanges of researchers and their resources between Max Planck Institutes (groups of Prof. Herbert Waldmann and Prof. Peter Seeberger) and RIKEN Advanced Science Institute promote more effective use of research resources as well as information and technology in the field of systems chemical biology. In addition to our unique chemical libraries (NPDepo), both of the laboratories have different technologies to solve chemical biological issues, such as technologies for the analysis of systems glycobiology, methods for exploring specific interactions between ligands and proteins of interest, and derivatization by chemical synthesis for making new compounds with better biological activities, opening the way for not only understanding of various biological phenomena but also for drug discovery.

In collaboration with a group of Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Molecular Physiology (group of Prof. Herbert Waldmann), we study cell cycle control through the identification of small molecule inhibitors of the proteins that have an important role for the progression of cell division.
- Team Leader
- Naoyuki Taniguchi
We promote interdisciplinary research projects to study glycan-related cancers and infectious diseases through multiple approaches combining glycobiology, chemical biology, structural biology and bioinformatics.
