About

Over the last 20+ years, WH Land & Livecstock LLC has have built a flock of genetically selected carriers for the GM1 gangliosidosis trait.   GlycoScience Research Inc (GSR), was incorporated to develop a safe, natural source of GM1 for ganglioside research and therapeutic use. Our mission is to produce and promote ovine GM1 ganglioside as a treatment for Huntington’s Disease and other neurological diseases.

The GSR TEAM

Dr. Holler, CEO, DVM, PhD – DVM Kansas, State University, PhD Washington State University dissertation: “Ectopic Neuritogenesis and Ganglioside Alterations in Ovine GM1 Gangliosidosis. 1993. Dr. Holler is well versed in 30 years of scientific literature on GM1 and has experience in small scale ganglioside production and characterization utilizing the ovine GM1 source. He is currently employed as a diagnostic pathologist and animal reproductive disease specialist in the Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences Department at SDSU. Connect with him on LinkedIn.

Susan Holler, MS – Purdue University, Director of Operations and Research Flock Manager, is experienced in production agriculture and has held research, teaching and diagnostic positions at multiple universities. She manages ovine GM1 sheep production. She currently supervises the GSR lab, including genetic testing and tracking of all lambs produced in the GM1 system.

Sampson Asare, PhD – SDSU dissertation “Synthesis, characterization, and molecular dynamic simulations of Deep Eutectic Solvents”. 2018. Senior Research Chemist has extensive experience in solvent and analytical procedures. Dr. Asare also holds a BS in Biochemistry. His expertise is in the area of developing greener solvent systems for chemical and biological processes. He worked several years with World Health Organization in clinical drug trials as a researcher.

Hannah Hart, BS Neuroscience, Wartburg College, senior research project “The neuroprotective role of ovine GM1 ganglioside in Huntington’s Disease cells” is our lab technician.
