About

Manfred Wuhrer is a leading researcher in glycomics and glycoproteomics, whose work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of protein glycosylation — the complex post-translational modifications that govern biological activity, disease progression, and therapeutic drug performance. His research centers on developing cutting-edge analytical technologies, particularly high-throughput mass spectrometry-based methods, to characterize glycan structures with unprecedented speed and precision. Wuhrer's most influential contributions include pioneering automated workflows for plasma N-glycome profiling using MALDI-TOF-MS, incorporating linkage-specific sialic acid esterification to enhance structural resolution — a landmark study accumulating 92 citations. His widely cited review on high-throughput glycomics (83 citations) has become an essential reference for researchers navigating glycan biomarker discovery and biopharmaceutical development. His automated permethylation approach (78 citations) addresses critical quality-by-design needs within the biopharmaceutical industry, enabling robust glycosylation monitoring throughout a drug's lifecycle. Beyond N-glycosylation, Wuhrer has extended his expertise to O-glycosylation analysis, developing semi-automated workflows that open new avenues for disease biomarker identification and personalized medicine. His collective contributions have established him as an indispensable figure in translating glycomics from specialized research into broadly accessible, clinically relevant science.
