Gordan Lauc, the Chief Scientific Officer and co-founder of GlycanAge, is at the center of these developments. Dr. Lauc has contributed significantly to the advancement of high throughput glycomic analysis and the use of glycan biomarkers in precision medicine, working in tandem with his team. Dr. Lauc made a big move in 2017 when he started the Human Glycome Project.

The goal of this research is to develop glycomics as a key tool for patient stratification, illness identification, and therapy response monitoring. Recent research confirms the vital role glycans play in the biological processes of the body, showing that they are altered in more than 70 diseases and sometimes even up to ten years before symptoms and a diagnosis are made.
