Institute for Glyco-core Research, iGCORE, is a cutting-edge integrative glycoscience institute that brings together researchers from two universities - Nagoya University and Gifu University - with outstanding achievements in the fields of glycan synthesis, imaging, glycobiology, and glycomedicine. Through our research, iGCORE is committed to gaining a deeper understanding of the fundamental nature of life, ultimately paving the way for groundbreaking innovations in medicine, such as personalized prevention and early detection of pre-disease.
Our strength lies in our ability to synthesize complex glycans and image individual glycan molecules with expertise.
Our research aims to uncover the biological functions and medical uses of glycans, with the goal of developing novel applications to improve human health.
