Joint Usage/Research Center Glyco Science Cooperative Network

  • Tokai National Higher Education and Research System Institute for Glyco-core Research(iGCORE)
  • National Institutes of Natural Sciences The Exploratory Research Center on Life and Living Systems(ExCELLS)
  • SOKA University Glycan and Life Systems Integration Center(GaLSIC)

Overview/Concept/
Establishment

Utilizing our state-of-art glycan research capabilities,
J-GlycoNet provides comprehensive research support to researchers.

The following three institutions are accredited by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan as The Glyco Science Network, J-GlycoNet; that is, J-GlycoNet is one of the official Joint Usage/Research Centers of Japan:

  1. Institute for Glyco-core Research (iGCORE) in Tokai National Higher Education and Research System (THERS),
  2. The Exploratory Research Center on Life and Living Systems (ExCELLS) in The National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS)
  3. Glycan and Life Systems Integration Center (GaLSIC) at Soka University,

The J-GlycoNet cooperative network accelerates life science research through advanced glycan research capabilities and offers comprehensive research support to both glycan specialists and non-specialists through a co-creative research platform and joint projects.

Japan Leads the World in Life Science

Planning of fusion glycoscience with various fields

J-GlycoNet is the world's unique integrated glyco-research institution is composed of an exclusive combination of resources from iGCORE, GaLSIC, and ExCELLS. iGCORE covers comprehensive glycoscience including a wide range of research capability from the molecular to the organismal level. GaLSIC offers a combination of glyco-bioscience with informatic science. ExCELLS features in advanced glyco-structural biology. Thus J-GlycoNet is dedicated to advance glycan research by planning integrated and multidisciplinary research and by executing the plans among three institutions

The world's unique integrated glyco-research institution

Planning integrated interdisciplinary glyco-research with other fields and seamless implementation across the institutions

Through our integrated glyco-research approach, the goal is to solve issues in the life sciences.
