About

Archana Shubhakar is a distinguished researcher specializing in glycomics, with a particular focus on high-throughput analytical methodologies and their applications in biopharmaceutical development and disease biomarker discovery. Her work sits at the intersection of analytical chemistry and translational medicine, where she has made significant contributions to advancing the field of glycoprotein characterization. Shubhakar's most impactful contribution, her 2014 review on high-throughput glycomics analysis (83 citations), established a comprehensive framework for understanding advances in analytical technologies supporting both biopharmaceutical realization and glycan biomarker discovery. Building on this foundation, her 2016 development of an automated high-throughput permethylation method using MALDI-TOF-MS (78 citations) provided the biopharmaceutical industry with a critical tool for monitoring glycoprotein therapeutics throughout their lifecycle — directly addressing industry demands for Quality by Design frameworks. Her methodological rigor extends to clinical research, where she investigated the reliability of serum N-glycan profiling across different sample collection conditions, strengthening confidence in glycan biomarkers for disease detection. With over 180 cumulative citations across her key publications, Shubhakar's work has meaningfully advanced glycomics from laboratory curiosity to a practical, scalable discipline with real-world therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
