About
Dr. Sonia Serna is a leading figure in glycobiology, whose work has fundamentally advanced the study of complex carbohydrates. Her research centers on the development of innovative chemoenzymatic strategies for the synthesis and functional analysis of glycans, with a particular focus on N-glycans. Dr. Serna’s major contribution is a groundbreaking approach that combines modular chemical synthesis with on-chip nanoscale enzymatic glycosylation, a method detailed in her highly influential 2010 paper (68 citations). This work enabled, for the first time, the construction of a focused microarray of synthetic N-glycans, providing a powerful new tool for high-throughput screening of glycan-protein interactions. By creating these defined glycan arrays, she has opened new avenues for understanding the roles of these biomolecules in cell signaling, infection, and disease. Her pioneering efforts have established a critical foundation for the field, making her a key innovator in the study of the glycome.
