ACADEMIC AND COMMERCIAL PARTNERS
Our Research Collaborations
Our science is grounded in over three decades of glycan research led by Professor Gordan Lauc and realized through the work of our laboratory partner, Genos.
The Genos team, together with academic collaborators, has published more than 350 peer-reviewed articles and analyzed over 300,000 samples, accounting for more than 80% of all high-throughput glycan analyses worldwide.
This robust scientific foundation supports the GlycanAge test, with all analyses performed in Genos’s state-of-the-art laboratory to ensure the highest standards of rigor and expertise.
