Basic and Translational Glycoscience for Human Health and Diseases

Carbohydrates are ubiquitous in nature. They play roles in many important physiological and pathological events ranging from inflammation to microbial infections and tumor development. With the increasing appreciation of their important functions, carbohydrate chemistry and glycobiology are exciting areas of active research and the frontiers of modern research. The 2023 Carbohydrates GRC will bring together both established and emerging scientists, and cover the major recent developments in all areas of glycoscience, ranging from synthetic carbohydrate chemistry to the development and implementation of next generation technological and therapeutic platforms for disease detection, treatment and prevention.

The conference will feature 30 invited talks, 14 short talks selected from submitted abstracts, and 4 poster preview sessions. The conference provides a friendly environment for exchanging ideas, building scientific network, establishing collaborations, starting new projects, and initiating new research directions. The on-site meeting, discussion, interaction, and leisure activities are especially useful for early career scientists to get familiar with the established investigators in the field and to explore new ideas and directions in the interdisciplinary areas of carbohydrate research. The goal of the conference is to advance the field of carbohydrates, which will greatly facilitate the improvement of human health and the treatment of diseases.
