Glycoscience research institutes

Glycoscience research institutes focus on studying sugars and complex carbohydrates, known as glycans, which are vital components of cells, proteins, and tissues. These institutes explore how glycans influence biological processes like cell communication, immune response, and disease development. Their work involves understanding glycan structure and function, developing new methods to analyze them, and creating glycan-based therapies or diagnostics. By unlocking the secrets of glycans, these institutes aim to advance medicine, improve disease treatment, and develop innovative biomaterials, contributing to a deeper understanding of health and disease at the molecular level.
