The 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.
By Prof Gordan Lauc, PhD“Glycans are directly involved in the pathophysiology of every major disease… Additional knowledge from glycoscience will be needed to realize the goals of personalized medicine and to take advantage of the substantial investments in human genome and proteome research and its impact on human health.”

Our Scientific Advisory Board includes scientists, researchers, doctors, and authors across the fields of glycobiology, immunology, longevity and molecular biology, including lead figures from the Human Glycome Project.
They lead labs, teach at world-renowned academic institutions, and have hundreds of publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
The ongoing research allows us to not only provide the most accurate test of biological age, but also to keep adding to the insights we can deliver to you.
With over 100,000 participants worldwide, and 20 years of experience we are at the forefront of glycoscience globally.

By Prof Gordan Lauc, PhDThe Sustainable Development Goals or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked goals designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all". The SDGs were set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and are intended to be achieved by the year 2030. Glycoscience plays a role in achieving eight of the seventeen.
By Dr Marina Martinic KavurThe 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.
