Conference Description
The Glycobiology GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
The exponential structural diversity of glycoconjugates makes them crucial carriers of biological information and key mediators of interaction at cellular and organism level. The Glycobiology GRC will unite researchers across disciplines and enable them to discuss, learn and challenge our current knowledge on all aspects of glycobiology. This includes, but is not limited to, understanding the biosynthesis and evolution of glycans, their complex roles in signaling and immunity, their involvement in a wide spectrum of diseases or the emerging new technologies that become available to study their structure and function. Translational achievements and developments in the domains of glycobiotechnology, and glycoinformatics and novel avenues for artificial intelligence that have the potential to transform glycosciences will also be explored.
The Glycobiology GRC is preceded by the Glycobiology Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) that is specifically catering to provide graduate students and early career researchers with a platform to present their exciting research, receive career advice and benefit from the experience of invited established researchers in a safe and welcoming environment.
The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. The conference chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by November 23, 2024. Please check back for updates.
