Strategic Initiatives

The Canadian Glycomics Network (GlycoNet) is a Network of Centres of Excellence that focuses on the role of glycans (carbohydrates) in health. Areas of focus are neurodegenerative diseases, infectious diseases, chronic diseases, in particular diabetes & obesity, genetic diseases involving errors in glycan metabolism, and cancer. Additional information about Network research can be found at www.glyconet.ca. A key goal of GlycoNet is the translation and commercialization of research advances. Accordingly, this Request for Proposals seeks to fund partner-led projects that address needs of the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry.
