GlycoNet\u2019s 150 researchers in 34 institutions across Canada will benefit from enhanced commercialization capacity through API; and in turn, the partnership will significantly enrich API\u2019s ability to support companies with innovations in glycomics.<\/p>\n\n

EDMONTON, AB, February 4, 2020<\/strong> \u2013 Applied Pharmaceutical Innovation (API) and the Canadian Glycomics Network (GlycoNet) have established a Memorandum of Understanding to combine strengths at the intersection of drug development and glycomics while sharing expertise, partner networks, sector knowledge, access to facilities and infrastructure, as well as the power of students and trainees to build capacity, and facilitate commercialization of research.<\/p>\n\n

Both institutions have spun out of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta as not-for-profit entities contributing to the burgeoning life sciences sector in Alberta. With complementary mandates to contribute scientifically in their respective areas of expertise, train the next generation of researchers and innovators, encourage innovation and bring life-saving health solutions to the Canadian public, the API\/GlycoNet partnership is both a logical and exciting endeavor.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAPI brings a much needed mechanism for academia in developing translational research, allowing innovators at universities to bring their research to the market in a cost-effective manner\u201d, says GlycoNet\u2019s Executive Director, Dr. Elizabeth Nanak. \u201cOur trainees will also see the benefit of being able to work in an industrial lab setting, unlocking completely new career paths for them in the commercial life sciences sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThese sorts of partnerships are at the core of what API does,\u201d says API CEO, Andrew MacIsaac, \u201cwe\u2019re working to provide GlycoNet with expertise and capacity to develop the potential of their research beyond the early proof-of-concept stage, past the complex regulatory and development hurdles, all the way to the patients who need them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The agreement also expands the capacity of API. \u201cGlycoNet brings world leading expertise that we can provide to innovators, spinoffs, and industry through API\u201d, says MacIsaac, \u201cWhen attracting commercial research projects and investment to Alberta, and Canada, having a partner like GlycoNet in our corner is a huge added value.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

In the coming months and years API and GlycoNet will work together to empower innovators and industries in Alberta, Canada, and around the world.<\/p>\n\n

About the Canadian Glycomics Network<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

En 2015, le milieu de la recherche en glycomique s\u2019est mobilis\u00e9 en fondant le Canadian Glycomics Network (GlycoNet) gr\u00e2ce aux fonds provenant du programme f\u00e9d\u00e9ral des R\u00e9seaux de centres d\u2019excellence dirig\u00e9s par l\u2019entreprise [RCE-E] et plusieurs partenaires. Aujourd\u2019hui, le r\u00e9seau compte plus de 150 chercheurs \u0153uvrant dans 34 \u00e9tablissements partout au Canada, et b\u00e9n\u00e9ficie du soutien de plus de 140 partenaires. Depuis sa fondation, GlycoNet a beaucoup approfondi notre connaissance du r\u00f4le que jouent les glucides par rapport \u00e0 des maladies graves et \u00e0 la recherche de traitements pour y rem\u00e9dier.
