Beyond DNA: NWO Invests in Infrastructure to Study Sugar-Modified Proteins in Cells
A better understanding of protein glycosylation offers insights into disease mechanisms and helps improve therapeutic medicines.
BioBeyond_NL, a collaboration between researchers from Maastricht University, Utrecht University, Leiden University Medical Center, and Radboud University Medical Center, will receive funding through NWO’s National Roadmap for Large-Scale Research Infrastructure (LSRI).
- Total grant: seventeen million euros
- More than half allocated to Utrecht
The funding will support the creation of a national infrastructure aimed at advancing the understanding of the structure and function of proteins and sugars in their natural environment.
Proteins can be thought of as machines within our cells that perform a wide range of tasks. Their blueprints are stored in our DNA as a genetic code.
Author's summary: NWO invests in protein glycosylation research.
