Kazuki Inaba

Kazuki Inaba is a Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany, working within the Biomolecular Systems research group. His primary focus is advancing Automated Glycan Assembly methodologies for complex carbohydrate synthesis, with an office located in room K-2.165 and contactable via +49 331 567-9314.

His research spans interdisciplinary frontiers in biomolecular science:

• Glycobiology: Structural and functional analysis of carbohydrate-protein interactions
• Chemical Biology: Development of chemical tools for biological systems
• Synthetic Chemistry: Novel routes for oligosaccharide construction
• Biomolecular Engineering: Design of glycan-based biomaterials
• Carbohydrate Chemistry: Stereocontrolled glycosylation techniques
• Automated Synthesis: Robotics-driven glycan assembly platforms

Dr. Inaba's work in the Biomolecular Systems department pioneers scalable glycan production with implications for vaccine development, diagnostics, and understanding cellular recognition mechanisms, positioning automated synthesis as a cornerstone for next-generation glycobiology research.
