George A. O'Toole (Glycobiology researcher)

George A. O'Toole is a scientist specializing in glycobiology, which studies sugars attached to proteins and fats—called glycans—that influence many biological processes. His research explores how these sugar molecules affect bacterial behavior, infection, and immune responses. By understanding glycans' roles, O'Toole aims to develop new strategies for fighting infections and improving health. His work helps clarify how microbes interact with their hosts at the molecular level, advancing knowledge that could lead to better medicines and therapies.
