Introduction
Glycomics is a cutting-edge field of biology that focuses on the study of complex carbohydrate structures, also known as glycans, within biological systems. These intricate molecules play critical roles in various physiological and pathological processes, influencing cell signaling, immune responses, and disease progression.
History
The history of glycomics can be traced back to the realization of the importance of glycans in biological functions. Early studies focused on identifying glycan structures in glycoproteins and glycolipids. Technological advancements, such as mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography, paved the way for detailed glycomic analyses.
Noteworthy Personnel
Several influential individuals have significantly contributed to the field of glycomics. Dr. Carolyn R. Bertozzi s work on chemical glycobiology has advanced our understanding of glycan functions. Dr. Chi-Huey Wong s research in glycoscience and glycoproteomics has been transformative.
Evolution till Date
Glycomics has evolved from basic glycan structure analysis to a comprehensive field that integrates genetics, biochemistry, and mass spectrometry. Advances in glycomic technologies, such as glycan microarrays and glycoproteomics, have enabled researchers to explore the complexity of glycans in health and disease.
