Event Details

Blood vessels are the cornerstone of many developmental and disease processes. They allow the transport of nutrients and waste from tissues, controlling inflammation. The surfaces of blood vessels are covered in a dense layer of carbohydrates, also called glycans.

In this lecture we will learn about how important glycans are for regulating blood function, not only in disease but throughout human development.

Speaker: Daniel Sandoval, UCSD Biomedical Sciences PhD Student
