Glycosylation is one of the most common post-translational modifications: in eukaryotes, more than 50% of the proteins are glycosylated. The structural analysis of glycans (also called Glycomics), complements the information provides a more integrated vision of the complex cellular system. Through the establishment of a glycoanalytic platform, we study the influence of diverse factors in the alteration of the glycome, focusing into inflammatory chronic diseases and cancer.
