The Sweet Side of Neuroscience

New initiatives at the University of Leeds are putting glycoscience, and its growing impact on neuroscience, firmly on the map. Led by Prof. Jessica Kwok (Neuroglycobiology, FBS), these efforts highlight how glycans shape nervous system function and cell communication, opening new avenues for understanding brain health and disease. To learn more about glycobiology in neuroscience read Prof. Kwok's recent review.

From the GlycoLeeds network to major UK and European collaborations, Leeds is strengthening its leadership in this emerging field, expanding glycoscience while advancing neuroscience research and training the next generation of scientists. More details can be found here
