Glycobiology Education

Glycobiology is undertaught in the classroom and understudied in research, despite its widespread importance across all domains of life. We are the education team for the National Science Foundation-funded BioFoundry on Glycoscience Research, Education and Training (BioF:GREAT), which aims to address this issue by democratizing access to glycobiology. We are:

  • Developing, evaluating, and disseminating educational materials for teaching glycobiology
  • Supporting undergraduate instructors in integrating glycobiology into their instruction
  • Working to raise public awareness of the importance of glycobiology in daily life
