During his first year at U of A, Lowary continued to study tuberculosis and collaborated with Bundle and Monica Palcic in the Glycobiology Research Group which had "a major impact on the international carbohydrate community."[{{cite news |title=OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP IN ALBERTA SCIENCE AWARD FINALISTS |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/92375424/outstanding-leadership-in-alberta/ |access-date=January 11, 2022 |publisher=Calgary Herald |date=October 9, 2003|via=newspapers.com}}] As the director of the AICCS, Lowary focused on identifying and validating tuberculosis markers and developing tools to improve health in the developing world.[{{cite web |title=Alberta Glycomics Centre Receives Grand Challenges Tuberculosis Biomarkers Grant |url=https://www.ualberta.ca/science/news/2012/february/albertaglycomicscentrereceivesgrandchallengestuberculosisbiomarkersgrant.html |publisher=University of Alberta |access-date=January 11, 2022 |date=February 13, 2012}}] Using a grant from the [[Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation]], Lowary led a project with the goal of developing better diagnostic tools for tuberculosis and improve heart transplants in infants.[{{cite web |last1=McMaster |first1=Geoff |title=Carbohydrate chemist leads battle against tuberculosis |url=https://www.ualberta.ca/chemistry/news-and-events/news/2012/october/lowarycarbohydratechemist.html |publisher=University of Alberta |access-date=January 11, 2022 |date=October 16, 2012}}] In 2006, Lowary received an E.W.R.
