Training
The National Glycoscience Resource offers various training courses for undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral research associates, and visiting scientists from the U.S. and around the world in the principles, methods, and analytical techniques used to study complex carbohydrates.
Services We Provide
National Glycoscience Resource NGR@CCRC
Through the “National Glycoscience Resource” program (NIH grant R24GM137782) we provide services and training for the structural characterization of all types of glycoconjugates to the greater biomedical scientific community including universities, minority serving institutions, federal agencies, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries. Our plant characterization projects are supported by an additional grant from the Department of Energy “Center for Plant and Microbial Complex Carbohydrates” (DE-SC0015662). The particular combination of technologies applied for this purpose will depend on the specific structural information desired by the user and will be determined individually after discussion with Dr. Azadi.
NEWS
The CCRC Analytical Services Team offers advanced glycomics and glycoproteomics support for biomedical and biotechnological research. Our services include:
- Glycan profiling and sequencing
- Glycoprotein characterization
- Site-specific glycosylation analysis
- Monosaccharide and linkage analysis
- Sialic acid and glycolipid profiling
- Milk oligosaccharide analysis
- Pathogen-related glycomics (SARS-CoV-2, HIV)
We use state-of-the-art techniques including mass spectrometry, NMR, and HPLC to deliver accurate, publication-ready data.
