Glycosciences Laboratory

The Glycosciences Laboratory is a research facility focused on studying glycans, which are complex sugars attached to proteins and lipids. These molecules play vital roles in many biological processes, including cell communication, immune response, and disease development. By understanding how glycans function and interact, scientists aim to develop new diagnostics, vaccines, and treatments for conditions like cancer, infections, and genetic disorders. The lab combines advanced techniques in chemistry, biology, and technology to analyze and manipulate glycans, advancing our knowledge of their crucial roles in health and disease.
