Systems glycobiology enabled by innovations in mass spectrometry and chemical biology
Glycosylation is a dominant feature of extracellular phenotypes. Glycoproteins present distinct combinations of glycans and amino acids that create unique molecular surfaces to relay biological information in a language called the glycocode. Despite evidence that the glycocode orchestrates numerous aspects of cell surface biology, we lack a fundamental understanding of the glycosylation landscape across the proteome, largely because we do not have tools to capture the glycocode at a systems level. Our group works to address this critical gap in current analytical technology to study glycocode regulation across biological networks that govern health and disease.
