GlyGen is a knowledgebase integrating and standardizing glycan and glycoprotein data to support glycobiology and biomedical research. In this webinar, recent enhancements, new data and features from v2.10 will be showcased, including the new Glycan and Protein AI Query Assistants. A brief walkthrough of key glycan and protein exploration tools and details pages will also showcased.

Robel Kahsay, PhD
Associate Research Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine

As an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine and while working at DuPont’s Central Research and Development as a senior computational scientist, I have applied my extensive informatics experience in the management and analysis of biological data to develop various bioinformatics algorithms and robust data analysis pipelines supporting diverse research groups in the field of biological sciences research. My current research focus is on the use of innovative technologies for building analysis engines that feed on high throughput heterogeneous biological datasets to extract actionable knowledge, and making this knowledge available to the research community through advanced interfaces and automated APIs. In addition to my research activities, I mentor graduate students in the bioinformatics program and provide direct hands on training in the field of High Performance Computing (HPC) for high throughput data analysis.
