UEAs

UEAs is an acronym used for several different terms in various fields. Its meaning depends on context. Common uses include:

In education, UEA most often refers to the University of East Anglia, a public research university in Norwich, United Kingdom. In discussions that involve more than one institution at once, UEAs may be used to denote multiple universities abbreviated as UEA, or to indicate a group of East Anglian universities.

In biochemistry and histology, UEA commonly denotes Ulex europaeus agglutinin I, a plant lectin derived from the seeds of Ulex europaeus. The lectin binds specifically to certain fucose-containing carbohydrate moieties and is used in glycan profiling and histochemical staining. In literature on lectins, researchers sometimes refer to the family of UEA-related lectins collectively as UEAs, though the standard nomenclature is UEA-I for the primary lectin.

Other contexts, UEA may refer to various organizations, programs, or concepts depending on country and field; the exact meaning should be inferred from surrounding text.
