NWO Open Competition Domain Science-M2 funding for joint research on sugar barcodes instructing intestinal immune cellsThe Dutch Research Council (NWO) has awarded funding in the Open Competition Domain Science-M (ENW-M2) round for the joint project ‘Biosynthetic sugar barcodes to instruct intestinal immune cells’. The project team led by immunologist Jochem Bernink from Amsterdam UMC and biochemist Christian Büll from Radboud University, will study how complex sugar molecules called glycans influence the immune system of the intestine and play a role in inflammatory bowel diseases.
