About
Niels‐Christian Reichardt is a leading figure in glycoscience, whose work bridges synthetic chemistry and glycomics to unravel the biological roles of complex carbohydrates. His primary research focuses on the development of innovative tools for glycan analysis, with a major contribution being the construction of the first focused microarray of synthetic N-glycans. In his highly cited 2010 paper (68 citations), Reichardt introduced an effective chemoenzymatic strategy that combined modular chemical synthesis with on-chip nanoscale enzymatic glycosylation. This breakthrough allowed for the creation of a diverse array of N-glycan core structures, which were then covalently immobilized on glass surfaces, enabling high-throughput screening of glycan-protein interactions. By providing a robust platform for studying the biological functions of N-glycans, his work has had a lasting impact on the fields of glycobiology and biomarker discovery. Reichardt’s achievements are particularly notable for advancing the practical application of synthetic glycans in microarray technology, a key tool for researchers investigating cell signaling, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic development.
