These glycans, also called complex carbohydrates, play a vital role in keeping you healthy, but are also involved in most major diseases that affect mankind. Exactly how is still shrouded in mystery, but this video provides a glimpse into the secret world of glycans and the cutting-edge glycoscience research being conducted to understand their role in health & disease and to develop the therapeutics and vaccines of the future!
The glycoscience research is an example of Science for Life, one of the four themes within Utrecht University’s interdisciplinary research programme Life Sciences.
Dutch and English subtitles are available for this video.
This video about glycoscience research was produced for the Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery Department and was made possible with financial support by Utrecht University.
