National Academy Issues Roadmap on the Future of Glycoscience
A new report from the National Research Council of the U.S. National Academies focuses on the current status and the future of glycoscience. The field, born of chemistry more than biology, lags behind in the technical revolution that powered DNA and proteins to their deserved prominence. While the report recognizes substantial achievements in studying carbohydrates or glycans, it focuses on current limitations, proposes ways to overcome them and offers a roadmap for funding agencies to improve understanding of underappreciated sugars. In response, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) quickly posted a notice on the Common Fund Strategic Planning page listing Glycosience as a future target.
