Glycan Array Pilot Award

ZBiotechCommunityGlycan Array Pilot Award

Program Description:

Glycan Array Pilot Award is an annual award established by Z Biotech with the purpose of encouraging and motivating scientists in the use of glycan microarrays in their research. The proposed projects should utilize the cutting-edge glycan array technology offered by Z Biotech (explore our products) to test the feasibility of novel avenues of research that will foster creative discoveries for ultimately protecting and improving health.

These awards provide funding to carry out Z Biotech glycan array analysis. This year’s program will support 10 investigators from research institutes, biotechs, and pharmaceutical companies. The submission process is straightforward, and applications will be reviewed within 2 weeks from the submission.

Objective:

The goal of this program is to support investigators who are interested in using glycan arrays in their research, and in promoting the utilization of cutting-edge glycan microarray technology for basic science, translational, and clinical studies.
