Our Services

Your Trusted Glycan Custom Synthesis, Contract Research Organization (CRO) and Contract Development & Manufacturing Organization (CDMO)

Our custom synthesis service is not just about creating molecules tailored to your specific needs; it's about crafting solutions that pave the way for new biomedical applications. From vaccines to targeted drug delivery systems to novel therapeutic antibodies based on our glycoconjugates, we will take you "where no one has gone before".

Beyond being a selection of well-defined products, our product portfolio serves as a gateway to understand our capabilities and expertise. Each project presents a unique opportunity to explore the expansive possibilities within glycoscience, an open landscape where every endeavor pushes the boundaries of innovation and application.

Glycans

From simple modified monosaccharide scaffolds such as GalNAc targeting ligands to complex oligosaccharides such as Sialyl Lewis X, Sussex Research is a prominent global leader in carbohydrate/glycan synthesis. We specialize in scalable, cost-effective methods that drive innovation in drug discovery and development whether oligonucleotide, protein, lipid or small molecule-based.

Glycopeptides & Peptides

From synthetic tumour-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACA) based on mucins to far more complex PSGL-1 mimetics and glycopolypeptides, Sussex Research has led the field of glycopeptide synthesis for >20 years. We produce and inventory the world's largest selection of well defined glycoamino acid building blocks allowing us to access unique glycopeptides in timely fashion. Our expertise extends to glycated (Fructosylated), glycolipidlipid, lipid and macrocyclic peptides.

Antibody Development

We produce carbohydrate-based antigens required to screen antibodies or to produce an antibody. We have the synthetic tools to produce carbohydrate antigens and their respective BSA, OVA, CRM or KLH carrier protein conjugates. Antigens include but are not limited to glycans, glycopeptides and glycolipids.

Targeting Ligands

Exploiting lectin/carbohydrate-mediated drug delivery through use of glycobiology may offer a means of addressing the specific challenges of delivering and targeting difficult therapeutic molecules such as RNA to specific tissues. The idea of using lectin-carbohydrate interactions to mediate cell targeting and cellular uptake of molecules in general has been under intense investigation. Sussex Research has decades of experience producing cell-specific carbohydrate ligands such as GalNAc or Sialic acid containing glycans that target a variety of carbohydrate binding protein receptors including but not limited to ASGPR, Galectins and Siglecs.

A Journey from Concept to Delivery

We love challenges... you dream it, we make it happen. Our process:

Initial Inquiry and Consultation

Understanding Your Needs

At the heart of our process lies understanding your needs through conversation with our expert team, followed by meticulous feasibility assessments and planning to ensure your project's success.

Proposal and Agreement

Tailored for You

We present a bespoke proposal detailing timelines, expenses, and project-specific considerations, forging a partnership built on trust and solidified through a comprehensive contract, guaranteeing confidentiality and aligning expectations for successful delivery.

Development and Synthesis

Innovation in Action

Our scientists initiate the research and development phase, methodically executing synthesis while providing regular updates to ensure you're informed of progress, challenges, and any required strategy adjustments throughout the process.
