Description

The Canadian Glycomics Network is a pan-Canadian research, development and innovation network that focuses on the role of glycans (carbohydrates) in health. GlycoNet brings together 193 funded and affiliated research groups from 37 universities and institutions across Canada. The Network collaborates with industry, government, and non-profit partners on developing innovative, made-in-Canada solutions to global challenges in health and sustainable agri-food systems.

GlycoNet's 4 priority research areas are:

1. Infectious diseases
2. Immunology
3. Precision medicine
4. Animal health and sustainable agri-food systems
