Self-Introduction

I'm Kento from Kagoshima Prefecture.
I have belonged to Department of Health Science and studied Glycobiology.
Glycobiology is sugar chain sciences.
When you heard "sugar", you could think that sugar is sweet.
However, "sugar chains" are not sweet.
Recently, researchers have discovered sugar chains are important for our body.

  3. I read once that the process of ageing is similar to that of caramelization. Is that related to glycobiology?

    By the way, have you given up your study of glycobiology? What is your current study?

    1. Sorry, I don't know the relation between ageing and glycobiology, but think have relations.
      Because the change of sugar chain structures relate to lifetime of cells.

      Now, I study about functions of sugar chains related to diabetes.
