Federally funded Centers and Resources at the CCRC:

GlycoMIP, an NSF Materials Innovation Platform

The DOE Center for Plant and Microbial Complex Carbohydrate
A resource for the study of plant and microbial carbohydrates

The Center for Bioenergy Innovation (CBI)
vision is to accelerate domestication of bioenergy-relevant plants and microbes to enable high-impact, value-added, co-product development at multiple points in the bioenergy supply chain.

The NIH Integrated Technology Resource for Biomedical Glycomics
Develops and implements new technologies to investigate the Glycome of cells

The NIH Research Resource for Integrated Glycotechnology
Studies the molecular basis of the involvement of carbohydrates in protein-carbohydrate interactions

These internationally renowned centers are national resources for studies of complex carbohydrates from plants, microbes, and animals. In addition the CCRC is also home to major funding initiatives in:

Biomass and Bioenergy
A group of CCRC researchers who study plant biomass formation and structure as part of the DOE Bioenergy Science Center (BESC)

GLYCAM/AMBER
A tool to probe the interatomic interactions responsible for oligosaccharide and glycoprotein dynamics

Monoclonal Antibodies for Plant Cell Walls
An initiative to develop a monoclonal antibody toolkit to aid in studying the role of the cell wall in plant growth and development

Plant Cell Walls
A group of CCRC researchers who study diverse aspects of plant cell walls

The members of each Federal Center and each research initiative interact closely with one another to take advantage of the wide experience in all aspects of complex carbohydrate science available at the CCRC.
