About this group

Tissue Glycomics March 2024

Inspired by the huge impact that small changes in glycan structures (complex carbohydrate molecules) can have on human health, the Tissue Glycomics group is dedicated to study glycosylation in human tissues in health and disease.

Glycans are a fascinating class of biomolecules, known for their chemical complexity and strong implications in, amongst others, immunology, regenerative medicine, virology, and oncology. This interdisciplinary nature drives us to combine glycobiology with cutting-edge mass spectrometry to identify and exploit specific roles of glycoproteins in human (patho)physiology.

Due to our interdisciplinarity and technological focus, we frequently participate in (inter)national collaborations, and enthusiastically host visiting researchers and internship students in our lab.

Groups

Proteomics

The proteomics group performs state-of-the art mass spectrometric analyses of peptides/proteins, with an historical focus on immunology, i.e. HLA-peptidomics, cell biology and microbiology.
Glycomics

Glycosylation plays important roles in immunity, development, infectious diseases and cancer.
Metabolomics

Metabolomics is defined as the systemic analysis of the metabolome, which encompasses the totality of the metabolites in a biological system, i.e., the end-points and intermediate products of metabolism
MS Imaging

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a technology that simultaneously provides the spatial distribution of hundreds of biomolecules directly from tissue.
Bioinformatics

The Bioinformatics group uses computational tools to bring together data from different domains in order to better understand human disease.
