Glycobiology of the Immune System and Disease explores the integration of state-of-the-art glycobiology and immunology to raise awareness of the multifaceted roles of glycans and lectins in the immune system. Glycobiology is a rapidly growing field in biology, with relevance to biomedicine, biotechnology and basic research. Considering the central role that glycans play in immune interactions, glycoproteins and carbohydrates are becoming the targets of next-generation therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostics. Programmed remodeling of host glycans can modulate infection, autoimmunity, and cancer, while microbial glycoconjugates can serve as canonical innate receptor agonists that induce B cell and T cell activation.

This important reference investigates microbial and mammalian glycans and their protein-binding partners (lectins) and shows the role they play in all innate and adaptive immune responses. With its comprehensive overview of the field, this is an important resource for academicians, graduate and post graduate students as well as professors and faculty in the field of research in glycobiology and immunology.

Dr. Shyamasree Ghosh (MSc, PhD, PGDHE, PGDBI) has worked and published extensively in glycobiology, biology of sialic acids, immunology, stem cells, nanotechnology and computational biology and is currently working as the Scientific Officer, since 2009 in the School of Biological Sciences, National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar, under Department of Atomic Energy, Govt of India currently located in Jatni, Orissa. ty. She has authored several publications that include books and encyclopedia chapters in reputed journals and books. Research that tries to decode the complexity of life with hopes for a better living forms her research interest.
