About

We are the Chemical Glycobiology Lab, joint between the Francis Crick Institute and Imperial College London. Our mission is to employ state-of the art tools and techniques to probe the mysterious world of glycans that are ubiquitous in biology and central to life. We are dynamic and interdisciplinary. The best science thrives in a diverse environment – we are passionate about promoting equity and reject discrimination on the basis of any of the protected characteristics.
