webinar Webinar: Developing glycoproteomics and glycoengineering approaches to investigate protein glycosylation

Im am generally curios about lab protocols and emerging technologies within the field of scientific research so no need to go into too much detail. But I do really want to know the WHY.

Thank you for your question. In summary, glycoproteomics is arguably the only technique that allows for the study of protein glycosylation, the most complex and possibly most abundant modification found in a cell, also on a proteome-wide scale. This provides information on a cell/tissue's glycosylation status both in its native state and during disease progression, allowing researchers to determine whether changes in glycosylation patterns underpin disease mechanisms. During the webinar, I will provide a broader perspective on the need for this tool and its potential applications in scientific research, which may shed more light on this.
