Iceni Glycoscience

Iceni Glycoscience is an innovative platform company with world-class expertise in glycoscience (carbohydrate chemistry and biology), exploiting the use of glycans (complex sugars) in the areas of mutation-proof diagnostics and therapeutics.

Every type of cell in our body has a unique sugar coating. Whenever anything such as bacteria or virus interacts with the body it needs to interact with this ‘sugar code.’ At Iceni Glycoscience we are developing ways to unlock this complex code to offer new ways to diagnose and treat disease.

Here at Iceni Glycoscience (formerly Diagnostics) we have been pioneering the use of glycoscience for diagnostic and therapeutic benefit since 2014, exploiting the natural biological function of glycans (complex sugars) as an alternative to protein or nucleic acid targets.

In addition to our portfolio of in-house programmes, we provide contract service solutions to the biotech and pharma sectors, and Government-sponsored research organisations globally.
