About
Ten Feizi is a pioneering figure in glycobiology, renowned for her transformative work on carbohydrate microarrays and the molecular basis of protein-glycan interactions. Her research focuses on deciphering the roles of glycans in endogenous recognition systems and pathogen-host interactions, with a particular emphasis on O-glycosylation—a critical post-translational modification implicated in health and disease. Feizi’s major contributions include the development of a neoglycolipid (NGL)-based oligosaccharide microarray system, first introduced in 2002, which revolutionized the study of carbohydrate-binding proteins by enabling high-throughput, noncovalent immobilization of glycans on nitrocellulose-coated slides. This landmark work, detailed in her 2011 paper (76 citations), has become a cornerstone for glycan ligand discovery. She further advanced the field with the O-Glycome Beam Search Arrays (2017, 25 citations), addressing the challenge of O-glycan heterogeneity and enabling systematic identification of biologically relevant sequences. Feizi’s innovations have profoundly impacted immunology, infectious disease research, and biomarker discovery, with her work cited extensively across disciplines. Her achievements include leading the Glycosciences Laboratory at Imperial College London, cementing her legacy as a trailblazer in decoding the glycome’s functional complexity.
