Carbohydrate Bioscience and Food Glycomics.

What we do

Food glycomics

Reading the glycan structures of food, and the glycans that food carries into the body.

Glycoenzyme discovery

Finding, expressing and characterising the enzymes that build and break glycosidic bonds.

Analysis & service

Analytical and technological support for academic and industrial partners.

Training

Academic training for postgraduate students in glycoscience and bioengineering.
