Cancer cells exploit sugars on their surfaces to evade immune detection and spread.
Glycomics research is essential to uncovering these hidden mechanisms and advancing new approaches to cancer detection and therapy.

🔗 Explore some current projects:

Immune cells use sugar molecules on their surfaces to communicate—but these signals can be hard to study.
GlycoNet researchers at @ualberta.bsky.social developed balloon-like probes to help detect these subtle interactions, opening doors for future therapies.

How does the immune system influence Alzheimer’s disease? Research from Dr. @siglecdude.bsky.social lab at the UAlberta shows that two CD33 isoforms on brain immune cells (microglia) can have opposing effects, increasing susceptibility or offering protection.
