Conference Summary
Join us for a virtual conference that will convene the world's leading scientists and promising young investigators and trainees in a collegial and supportive environment to address critical problems in microbial glycobiology.
Launched in 2004, this FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) provides an in-depth focus on emerging glycobiological topics related to a myriad of microorganisms, and recognizes the growing importance of microbial glycobiology in health and technology.
This virtual conference continues the original focus of bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scientists representing academia and industry whose interest in microbial glycobiology includes the emerging themes of glycan structures and glyco-chemical biology, vaccine glycoengineering, the role of glycans on host pathogen interactions, and microbial modulation of host glycans in the context of the microbiome in health and disease.
