Workshop - Lisbon, Portugal

Very recently, by expanding the knowledge of modern molecular biology and medicine, Glycosciences have become more vibrant.At long last, the importance of glycans in biological processes has started to be appreciated. Glycosciences provides us with solutions and offer tools for demanding health problems.

Glycobiology and Glycochemistry are the two main and intertwined areas of Glycosciences, dealing with various aspects of glycans, including carbohydrate structure, biochemistry, biological functions and applications. This EMBO Workshop aims to instigate the creation of “scientifically bilingual” investigators fluent in glycan chemistry and biology. This is necessary in order to sustain and advance the identification of key glycobiological aspects and the application of Glycans and Glycoengineering strategies in the design of novel therapies to improve human health.
