Glycoengineering

Glycoengineering is a technique in biotechnology that uses proteins, carbohydrates (sugars), and genetic engineering to design and modify complex molecules. It has been used in medicine to create biosimilar drugs, as well as in the food and beverage industry, to develop innovative and healthier products. The technique is increasingly used to address health issues and improve the quality of life. Glycoengineering can also be used for developing advanced materials for various applications, such as in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and biodegradable plastics. By combining genetic engineering, chemical and biological techniques, glycoengineering has the potential to revolutionize the way we produce and manufacture proteins and small molecules.
