Human Glycome Project

The Human Glycome Project is an international research effort to map and understand the full range of sugars, called glycans, that attach to proteins and lipids in the human body. These glycans play crucial roles in health, disease, immune response, and cell communication. By creating a comprehensive "map" of the human glycome, scientists aim to improve disease diagnosis, develop better treatments, and gain deeper insights into how our bodies function at a molecular level. This project enhances our understanding of complex biological processes and paves the way for personalized medicine.
