GlyGen History

  • William (Will) York (CCRC, University of Georgia, Athens) and Raja Mazumder (The George Washington University), along with their team, founded GlyGen.
  • Raja and William each wrote separate NIH R34 grants in 2015 for planning a glycoinformatics resource. Both were independently funded. Rather than competing, they collaborated and jointly submitted the GlyGen proposal as Principal Investigators (PIs).
  • Raja's planning grant was called GlycoCentral: Glycobiology data and tool integration with genes, proteins and lipids and Will's grant was called GlySpace: an integrated infrastructure for glycoinformatics.
  • In 2016, during the planning phase, Will and Raja organized meetings at George Washington University (GW), bringing together experts from the glyco, genomics, and biocuration communities. They gathered over 100 use cases to guide the project.
  • Working with Rene Ranzinger and Nathan Edwards, they came up with the name "GlyGen" and developed the content for the first GlyGen U01 proposal, incorporating insights from collected use cases.
  • The GlyGen proposal was submitted by Will and Raja as joint Principal Investigators (PIs).
  • Following Will’s retirement, Michael (Mike) Tiemeyer assumed his role. In the current GlyGen Phase 2 (R24), Raja and Mike serve as Principal Investigators (PIs), with Rene Ranzinger (CCRC, University of Georgia, Athens) and Robel Kahsay (The George Washington University) as Co-Investigators.
  • Nathan Edwards (Georgetown University), Maria Martin (EBI), and Vijay Shanker (University of Delaware) contribute as sub-award investigators.
