Overturning the Paradigm: What systems approaches tell us about glycosylation and non-coding RNA - CANCELED

Glycans offer cells a rich coding space, integrating information from the genome, transcriptome and proteome that reflects both cell status and the function of cells within an organism. Their position at the outer edge of cellular space makes them ideal partners for immune cell recognition and targets for pathogens including viruses and bacteria. This talk focuses on decoding structure-function relationships in the glycome related to host-response and cancer and how exploring the control mechanisms of the glycome have led us to re-evaluate the paradigm of how microRNA regulate the proteome and thus the glycome.
