Protein glycation  -  the non-enzymatic modification of proteins by reducing sugars - is the most prevalent post-translational modification in the human body. Despite its central role in metabolic and vascular pathology, glycation remains poorly integrated into routine clinical testing. Building on extensive clinical cohorts and sample libraries within our research group, this PhD project aims to establish spectroscopy-based methods to detect and quantify protein glycation with clinical relevance.
