Azra Raza is an oncologist, and professor of medicine, and director of the Myelodysplastic Syndrome Center at Columbia University, New York. She has dedicated almost her entire life to fighting cancer and discovering ways to prevent it by detecting the first cancer cell in the human body.
HealthWhat Are Vaccines Doing to Our Bodies, and Could Sugars Make the Vaccines Better?
A considerable expansion in glycomics capabilities is required to fully exploit protein glycosylation for the development of new vaccines.
HealthThe Sweet Secret of a Healthy Pregnancy
Scientists discovered that sugars attached to the immune cells may be the reason behind improvement of the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis during pregnancy.
HealthCould Eating Soybeans Help Protect Men from Viral Infections?
Oestrogen activity strengthens the female immune system, but phytoestrogens, such as those found in soybeans, could show the same beneficial effect in boosting male immunity to reduce the odds of viral infection
HealthThe Role of Antibody Glycans in the Development of Severe COVID-19
Glycans attached to antibodies are an important regulator of our immune system. Read about their role in development of severe COVID 19 disease.
HealthGlycans as Drivers of a Disease Risk
The relative risk of many diseases increases with age. Individuals age at different rates, and while some might show a surprising level of health and fitness in their eight decades, others might be troubled by age-related diseases already in their late thirties. An increasing body of evidence suggests glycans play a role at establishing an individual’s risk of having poor health.

HealthCan Glycans Predict the Loss of Kidney Function
Chronic kidney failure is one of the most common and debilitating complications of diabetes. Changes in glycosylation of immunoglobulin G (IgG) accompany biological agеing and regulates inflammation in diabetes – a process that participates in kidney function decline. A new study looks at the correlation between kidney function and IgG glycosylation.
