Perutz Lecture 2022 - Therapeutic Opportunities in Glycoscience - Carolyn Bertozzi

MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology Max Perutz Lecture 2022 Therapeutic Opportunities in Glycoscience Speaker: Carolyn Bertozzi, Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Chemistry, Baker Family Director of Stanford ChEM-H, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. Abstract: Cell surface glycans constitute a rich biomolecular dataset that drives both normal and pathological processes. Their “readers” are glycan-binding receptors that can engage in cell-cell interactions and cell signaling. Our research focuses on mechanistic studies of glycan/receptor biology and applications of this knowledge to new therapeutic strategies. Our recent efforts center on pathogenic glycans in the tumor microenvironment and new therapeutic modalities based on the concept of targeted degradation.

Discoveries and inventions developed at the LMB, for example DNA sequencing and methods to determine the structure of proteins, have revolutionised all areas of biology. Its scientists work to advance understanding of biological processes at the molecular level. This information will help us to understand the workings of complex systems, such as the immune system and the brain, and solve key problems in human health.
