Dr. Dorothy Zolandz and Dr. Katherine W Bowman of the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences is supported by the Division of Chemistry, the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, and the Division of Materials Research of the NSF to convene a study to assess the importance and impact of glycomics and glycosciences research and the status of such research in the U.S. It will examine strategies to enhance or develop the workforce, tools, and capabilities needed to advance glycosciences and glycomics in order to build on knowledge from genomics and proteomics.A rapidly increasing amount of research is being undertaken on glycobiology and glycochemistry, and many of the techniques and lessons applied to one cell type and system may be applicable to the study of others. The fields are poised to benefit from the development of a strategic vision for glycoscience and glycomics that crosses boundaries of funding agencies and research fields, including tools for characterization and analysis, databases and data management, and other fundamental infrastructure. The proposed activity will advance US research in areas such as the conversion of biomass to fuel, biomass for material application, and cell-cell communication and recognition. The proposed activity will also help build the infrastructure for chemical, biological, and materials research.

美国国家科学院国家研究理事会的多萝西·佐兰兹博士和凯瑟琳W·鲍曼博士得到了化学部、分子和细胞生物科学部、和美国国家科学基金会的材料研究部召开一次研究会议，评估糖组学和糖科学研究的重要性和影响，以及美国此类研究的现状。或者发展推进糖科学和糖组学所需的劳动力、工具和能力，以便建立来自基因组学和蛋白质组学的知识。正在进行的关于糖生物学和糖化学的研究数量迅速增加，并且应用于一种细胞类型和系统的许多技术和经验教训可能适用于其他细胞类型和系统的研究。 这些领域将受益于跨越资助机构和研究领域的糖科学和糖组学战略愿景的发展，包括表征和分析工具，数据库和数据管理以及其他基础设施。 拟议的活动将推进美国在生物质转化为燃料、生物质材料应用以及细胞间通信和识别等领域的研究。 拟议的活动还将有助于建立化学，生物和材料研究的基础设施。
