Current Focus: Characteristics of the Structure and Selected Biological Activities of Polysaccharides Isolated from Hemp

Project Description

Our research specifically aims to characterize the strucutural properties and investigate the selected biological activities of polysaccharides derived from hemp. We seek to enhance our understanding of their potential applications in various fields, ultimately contributing to the broader knowledge of hemp-derived polysaccharides and their functional attributes.

Why does this topic interest you?

The studies that we are conducting can lead to more significant findings for biomedical and industrial application. I feel that is making the world a little better in the long run.

What are your professional aspirations?

Pathology Research

Do you have any advice for future researchers?

I would say my greatest advice to future researchers is to be kind, even to yourself.
