Collaboration

A major goal of the Analytical Services laboratory at the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center is to stimulate collaboration with members of the broader scientific community. In addition to standard service projects, the Analytical Services laboratory also routinely works with various organizations in the form of research collaborations. This work serves to strengthen the current field of carbohydrate research, as well as to provide the feedback necessary to refine current technology and identify new needs in the field.

Collaboration projects involve our expertise in the fields of plant and microbial polysaccharides, glycomics, glycoproteomics and proteoglycans. These collaborations commonly exploit still-emerging technologies where the projects can be more open-ended and generally require a greater interaction between personnel at the CCRC and outside investigators.

Dr. Parastoo Azadi is the coordinator of Collaborative Endeavors within the CCRC Analytical Services Group. With more than 25 years of experience in the field of polysaccharide and glycoprotein structural analysis, she is well equipped to assist investigators in the development of new collaborative projects with the scientific staff at the CCRC. Initial contact may be made directly with Dr. Azadi at azadi@uga.edu.

Publications resulting from these projects will very likely be co-authored by all those involved in the collaboration, and any publication using data from the Resource should include an acknowledgment similar to:
