The Canadian Glycomics Network (GlycoNet) will build on Canada’s international leadership in glycomics over the last 50 years. Glycomics researchers (working in such disciplines as chemistry, biochemistry, biology and immunology) analyze the many and varied roles of carbohydrates in biological processes, including the carbohydrate structures on blood cells that determine blood type. Glycomics-based research has the potential to lead to the development of new drugs and vaccines for conditions such as influenza, genetic diseases or diabetes. By bringing together all key Canadian glycomics researchers, GlycoNet will deliver solutions to important health issues. In this rapidly growing field, the network aims to become a global destination for researchers and industry seeking solutions to problems through applied glycomics research.

Save the Date for the GlycoNet 2021 Scientific AGM

Pending government travel and gathering restrictions, we are planning an in-person AGM in Edmonton on September 17 & 18, 2021. Since COVID-19 will likely still be a factor, at this time we intend to have a smaller meeting with Network Investigators only. We expect all Network Investigators with Cycle II projects to be present. *Projects progress will be evaluated at this event and go/no go decisions will be made for the two-year projects*. Please save the date in your calendar.
