George Petersen (biochemist)

George Petersen is a biochemist known for his research contributions in the field of glycobiology, particularly the study of glycans and their roles in biological processes. His work encompasses the analysis of carbohydrate structures, their biosynthesis, and their interactions with proteins and other biomolecules. Specific areas of his research have included the development of analytical methods for characterizing glycans, investigations into the role of glycosylation in cancer, and the study of glycan-binding proteins (lectins). Dr. Petersen's research aims to understand how glycans influence cellular signaling, immune responses, and disease progression. He has published extensively in peer-reviewed scientific journals and is recognized within the glycobiology community.
