Harnessing a revolution in sugar chemistry

 

Centrose is "making drugs better" by the power of CarboConnect® and a sophisticated understanding of how disease is affected by sugars. Cells containing specialized sugars behave quite differently then those that do not.  The same can be said for drugs. When attached to drugs, certain sugar types substantially change drug function. Centrose is pioneering scientific breakthroughs in the understanding of sugar chemistry and sugar biology in order to rapidly develop a diverse pipeline of proprietary therapeutics.

Our mission at Centrose is to become the Center of Sugar drug discovery and help in the fight against disease.
