Pioneering Innovation Based on Glycans as the Third Layer of Life Information
Innovation and Application of Single‑Cell Glycomics
Glycans represent the most diverse layer of life information, covering the surface of all cells and reflecting cell type and state as the “cellular face” that regulates intercellular and inter‑organ communication. However, their structural complexity and non‑template biosynthesis have made glycan information difficult to access, leaving a major unexplored frontier in life science. By developing innovative single‑cell glycomics technologies, I aim to elucidate cellular heterogeneity and function at the molecular level and to establish new glycan‑based platforms that translate fundamental discoveries into medical applications.
