GlycoScientific, LLC is a privately-held company engaged in the development and commercialization of unique research reagents in the field of glycobiology, including development of products that involve characterization of glycosylation. A teaml has been assembled with experience in proteomics, glycomics, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry of glycans and glycoproteins. The firm is developing tools to enable research in glycobiology, an emerging field of research focused on the identification, characterization, and quantitation of sugars, saccharides, and/ or glycans. These molecules are essential components to all living things and play important functions in various biological events such as cell-cell recognition, signal transduction, tumorigenesis, and epigenetics. Alterations to these glycans are important medically since they are often associated with diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimerâs, and autoimmune disorders
