Galactans, galactose-based polysaccharides, possess broad spectrum of bioactivities, offering a potential as therapeutic drugs and delivery systems. Despite extensive literature on anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory galactans, they have not been progressed to therapeutics. Further, the chemical structure and its impact on galactans’ glycobiology, therapeutic potential, and suitability as drugs/targets, is not well understood. Applying Bioeconomy approach, the project aims to a) isolate galactan polysaccharides from biomass/industrial byproducts with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties; b) elucidate their chemical structure and physicochemical parameters; and c) employ metabolomics data mining tools to establish key physicochemical fingerprints responsible for each bioactivity and validating them experimentally. The successful candidate will contribute to achieving the above three project goals.
