Description

Beyond Symmetry: Unravelling glyco-modulation of the immune system. This project aims to use state-of-the-art biological and chemical approaches to unveil how antibody glycosylation modulates the immune system. This project expects to generate new knowledge on the mechanisms modulating the immune response not yet addressed by current research. Expected outcomes include the identification of relationships between specific glycosylation states and certain immune responses. Benefits should include new knowledge improving our fundamental understanding of the antibody-mediated immune response. The outcomes will lead to future economic opportunities by tailoring monoclonal antibody production towards better efficiency. . Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.
