Robert Sackstein of FIU is leading research that targets the sugar coating of cancer cells. Changes in the structure of complex sugars called glycans can drive cancer development. Sackstein aims to build on prior research to develop transformative cancer therapies.
“This is a forward-thinking, progressive approach to helping patients in need. We wanted to cover the different cancers that cover the entire body so that we can understand how glycans displayed on cells within the various tissues fuel the development of cancer and control the ability of cancer to metastasize,” said Sackstein.
