Glycans as Mediators of Interactions Between Molecules, Cells and Organisms

The Gordon Research Seminar on Glycobiology is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The aim of the meeting is to highlight recent advances in understanding the different processes of glycosylation, as well as the roles of glycans and glycoproteins in human diseases, immunology, gene expression, and epigenetics. Participants are encouraged to present their results of in vitro experiments or in vivo studies using viral, microbe, protozoan or metazoan model systems or give insight into novel methods and technologies to analyse glycan structure and function. A career development section will conclude the meeting.
