Lokesh Joshi is Professor of Glycosciences at the National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland. His primary research interest is in the roles played by complex sugars in biological systems and technologies to study and understand these roles in maintaining health and during disease processes. His laboratory is developing technologies for high-throughput biomimic discovery and microarray based glycomics studies for clinical and industrial applications including infectious and chronic diseases and biopharmaceuticals. In 2009, a team led by Prof. Joshi was awarded a €5.2M grant by Science Foundation Ireland to establish Alimentary Glycoscience Research Cluster (AGRC) with the objectives of understanding the role of glycosylation in host-microbial interactions in the gut. Today, the AGRC continues in Galway as the Advanced Glycoscience Research Cluster. In 2010, Prof. Joshi and colleagues won a €3M European Union grant to establish an international research consortium (GlycoHIT) to develop the next generation of glycobiomimic and glycosensor tools for the diagnosis of cancer glycobiomarkers in patient serum. Prof. Joshi was appointed the Vice President for Research at National University of Ireland Galway in January 2013 and in this capacity, he leads the Office for the Vice President for Research responsible for sustaining and growing research, innovation and entrepreneurship across the University. Prof. Joshi is also co-founder of Aquila Bioscience, Ltd.
