Delivering carbohydrate-based health solutions to improve the quality of life of Canadians
About us
The Canadian Glycomics Network (GlycoNet) is a pan-Canadian initiative bringing together over 150 researchers from 34 post-secondary institutions, as well as numerous industry and academic partners, to develop solutions to unmet health needs through the study of glycomics. The network builds on Canada’s international leadership in glycomics over the last 50 years. Glycomics researchers analyze the many roles of carbohydrates (sugars) in biological processes. 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 novel 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. GlycoNet focuses on 5 research themes: antimicrobials, rare genetic diseases, diabetes and obesity, chronic disease, and therapeutic proteins and vaccines.

🎙️#Glyco27 Speaker Spotlight: Dr. Yvette van Kooyk! Professor van Kooyk, head of Molecular Cell Biology and Immunology at Amsterdam UMC, leads research into how glycosylation shapes immune responses in cancer. Her work focuses on developing immune therapies that target glycan binding receptors to enhance cancer immunity, while also studying how the tumor microenvironment influences immune cell communication.

We were thrilled to host Michael Mahon, CEO of Alberta Innovates, yesterday at GlycoNet! We had an insightful chat on the ever-growing field of glycomics and the significance of sugars (glycans) across many different areas of health! We also visited two GlycoNet Investigators' labs: John Klassen's lab and Ratmir Derda's lab at the University of Alberta. #glycomics #glycotime #health #lifesciences
