$1.3 million in funding to support new sugar research to tackle unmet needs in national healthcare

The made-in-Canada technology is revolutionizing the cryopreservation of cell and tissues.

Pediatric cardiologist Lori West is one of six researchers from the University of Alberta receiving $2.8 million in federal funding for “exceptional opportunities” in fight against the pandemic.

Discovering antiviral and anticancer drugs will soon be faster and cheaper thanks to new research from GlycoNet Investigator Dr. Robert Britton at Simon Fraser University and his international team.

The partnership, funded by NSERC Alliance Grant, will support Dr. Warren Wakarchuk’s work on the role of O-glycans in triggering immune response.

The fund aims to support projects that mitigate the impact of healthcare burden in Canada and contribute to better understanding of challenging diseases.

Funding will enable Drs. Yves St-Pierre, David Chatenet, and Nicolas Doucet to develop a revolutionary immunotherapy against breast cancer.

Founded in 2015, GlycoNet has been working to develop a collaborative national network to accelerate carbohydrate-based healthcare treatments, vaccine, and technologies for Canadians.

The Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE) announced today the renewed funding for five NCE networks.

The biopharmaceutical company founded by GlycoNet Investigator is working to develop a semi-synthetic vaccine in the preclinical phase
