?? GlySpace Meeting 2025 - Advancing Glycoinformatics Collaboration ??
The GlyGen team recently participated in the GlySpace Alliance Meeting at Soka University in Hachioji, Japan, from January 13 to 20, 2025. This gathering was a melting pot of ideas, collaborations, and forward-thinking discussions in the field of glycoinformatics.
Highlights from the Meeting:
- Forging New Partnerships: We explored collaborations with organizations such as the Human Glycome Project, GlycoNet, and MIRAGE, aiming to enhance data sharing and joint research initiatives.?
- Advancing Glycan Function Ontology: A dedicated session was held to develop a comprehensive ontology for glycan functions, which will significantly improve data interoperability across various platforms.?
- Commitment to Education: Strategies were formulated to promote glycoscience education, including the development of courses, workshops, and outreach materials to engage and inform the scientific community.?
- Exploring Funding Opportunities: We identified potential funding sources to support ongoing and future glycoinformatics projects, emphasizing the need for sustained financial backing for collaborative research.
A highlight of the event was the symposium on January 17, 2025, at Soka University's Global Square, where members presented on various topics related to the GlySpace Alliance.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the organizers and participants for their invaluable contributions. The insights gained and partnerships formed during this meeting will undoubtedly propel our collective efforts in glycoscience research to new heights.
