GlycoNet, in partnership with the Alberta Glycomics Centre (AGC) and the Derda Research Group at the University of Alberta, has launched its latest core service\u201448Hour Discovery<\/a>.\u00a0This accelerated service is designed to help academia and industry in molecular discovery in the areas of therapeutics, diagnostics, and probe development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe bring expertise in molecular biology, informatics and biochemistry,\u201d said GlycoNet and AGC investigator Dr. Ratmir Derda. \u201cThese are areas that are largely under-employed in Edmonton.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur scientists will strive to provide discovery in as few as 48 hours, for as little as cost recovery,\u201d Derda explained. \u201cIt\u2019s fast, cheap, and royalty free.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new core service allows clients to mail in a protein solution for analysis. Forty-eight hours later<\/span>, scientists provide a molecular breakdown of the protein as well as a prediction of its affinity and cross-reactivity with other targets.\u00a0In addition, the\u00a048-Hour Discovery<\/a>\u00a0service offers risk management, expert analysis, and long-term partnership with the Network’s academic and industrial collaborators.<\/p>\n

Derda added, \u201cWe hope that this technology will attract clients from academia, research, and industry to generate more translatable impact in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00c0 propos de GlycoNet
\n<\/strong>Le R\u00e9seau Canadien de la Glycomique<\/a> (GlycoNet)\u00a0is a pan-Canadian, multidisciplinary research network aiming to deliver solutions to important health issues and improve the quality of life of Canadians through the study of glycomics. GlycoNet is funded by the\u00a0Networks of Centres of Excellence, a Government of Canada program that supports large-scale, academic-led research networks to build research capacity and accelerate the creation of new knowledge in a specific research area.<\/p>\n

About Alberta Glycomics Centre
\n<\/strong>Le\u00a0Alberta Glycomics Centre<\/a>\u00a0(formerly known as Alberta Ingenuity Centre for Carbohydrate Science, AICCS) comprises a team of highly motivated individuals whose\u00a0research interests span a multidisciplinary array of biological processes and technologies specific to carbohydrate research.\u00a0The fields of chemistry, biology, medicine, and engineering are dynamically integrated as experts in areas such as carbohydrate synthesis, protein-carbohydrate interactions, glycoengineering, drug discovery, vaccine development, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography work together to explore carbohydrate science.\u00a0Currently, as part of the Glycomics Centre, a combination of 10 principal investigators (PIs) and associate PIs\u00a0conduct their research.<\/p>\n

About Derda Research Group
\n<\/strong>The\u00a0Derda Research Group\u00a0focuses on genetically-encoded chemistry,\u00a0genetically-encoded discovery of reactions, protein-ligand interactions, and instructive biomaterials. The Group is part of the\u00a0Department of Chemistry<\/a>\u00a0et le\u00a0Alberta Glycomics Centre<\/a>\u00a0at the\u00a0Universit\u00e9 de l\u2019Alberta<\/a>.<\/p>\n
