iGCORE is a state-of-the-art integrative glycoscience institute, bringing together researchers from both universities that have established superb achievements in the research of glycan synthesis, imaging, glycobiology, and medicine. Through our research, we aim to more fully understand the true nature of life, leading to innovations in medicine such as personalized prevention and detection of pre-disease.
Our advantage is in organic synthesis of complex glycans and imaging of single glycan molecules.
Our research focus is aimed at elucidating the biological functions and medical applications of glycans.
