Interested in learning more about glycobiology? You’ve come to the right place. Welcome to GlycanHub, the first podcast to explore health, disease and longevity through the lens of glycobiology.Glycans have been described as the third alphabet of biology alongside nucleic acid and proteins. Using this alphabet, our cells are able to communicate and interact with each other in health and disease. Meaning that once we truly understand the glycan language, we will gain a better understanding of ourselves.Every episode features an interview with a scientist or expert giving us a glimpse into what glycobiology research has uncovered about the human body to date and the potential applications of these findings in the medicine of tomorrow.Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out on new GlycanHub episodes.
