Glycans are key functional components in protein biopharmaceuticals, disease biomarkers, viral vaccines, prebiotics, and a host of other myriad applications. Consequently, analytical methods for glycan characterization are in constant demand, as are the skills necessary to carry out such an analysis. The Asia Glycomics Reference Site (AGRS) specializes in mass spectrometric characterization of glycans, glycoproteins, glycolipis, and proteins. The AGRS develops and validates new analytical platforms for glycomic and glycoproteomic-analysis, using cutting-edge facilities and equipment made available through industrial partnerships with leading instrument manufacturers. In addition to providing core glyco-analytical support to biopharmaceutical companies as well as governmental regulatory agencies, the AGRS conducts basic glycobiological research in collaboration with academic labs around the world.
