WHO WE ARE

The Canadian Glycomics Symposium is proudly hosted by GlycoNet.

The Canadian Glycomics Network (GlycoNet) is a pan-Canadian initiative connecting more than 140 researchers from 31 academic and research institutions, as well as numerous industry and academic partners, who work together to develop solutions to unmet health needs through the study of glycomics. By bringing together all key Canadian glycomics researchers, GlycoNet will deliver novel solutions to important health issues.

GlycoNet was launched in February 2015, and since that time, we have funded 61 research projects. We expect exciting things in the year ahead, including the Network’s Fourth Annual General Meeting and the 2019 Canadian Glycomics Symposium.

This year, we also look forward to our joint sessions with glycosceintists from Taiwan and Australia.

"It was a great experience and a real intimate venue. It gave me a great opportunity to talk to the end users of our products. I was able to understand the complexity of the work that GlycoNet researchers do." — Julie Wong, Territory Manager, New England Biolabs Ltd.

MEETING INFORMATION For over a decade, Canadian researchers in the field of glycomics attended the National Carbohydrate Symposium, previously organized by the Alberta Glycomics Centre. Each year, the event attracted more than 250 participants from around the globe.

With the creation of the Canadian Glycomics Network, the National Carbohydrate Symposium has evolved into the Canadian Glycomics Symposium, which is the premier North American meeting for researchers in the field of glycomics.

The Fourth Annual Canadian Glycomics Symposium will be held in Banff, Alberta at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. Visitors from Canada and beyond will get the chance to experience one of Canada’s treasures: the splendid Canadian Rockies.

Our 2019 Symposium will bring together Canadian and international glycomics researchers. We expect to welcome more than 250 researchers, trainees, and industry leaders in the fields of glycomics, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. The Symposium will showcase some of the most notable voices in Canadian glycomics research and serve as an ideal occasion to share knowledge in the emerging field of glycomics. There will also be ample opportunity for professional development and networking.

We invite organizations and companies that share our goals of achieving groundbreaking research in health, wish to establish a presence in this dynamic community of science, and want to have direct contact with pioneers in the field of glycomics to consider sponsoring this event.
