Call for abstract - Glyco Meeting "Glycans and Proteoglycans"
from October 18, 2017 to October 19, 2017
18th-19th October 2017
The international conference GlycoMeeting "Glycans & Proteoglycans: The Sweet and Smart Molecules of the 21th Century" will take place in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy on October 18 and 19, 2017.
On October 18 and 19 will take place the 2017 Joint Workshop of the International Associated Laboratory Nancy-Dundee (SulFo- & Glycosyltransferase ENzymes,SFGEN), the Fédération de Recherche 3209 (Biologie Moléculaire Cellulaire et Thérapeutique, BMCT) and the CNRS-UL unit 7365 (Ingénierie Moléculaire & Physiopathologie Articulaire, IMoPA).
This international meeting will be held in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, close to the town of Nancy (Lorraine, France).
The major objective of this workshop is to promote the field of glycosciences as a mainstream science crossing disciplines from biology to chemistry and biophysics, to emphasize the great potential of glyco-drugs, and to present most recent major technological advances in glycobiology. It will gather most renown european glycobiologists and gagophiles.
The meeting will be introduced by a keynote lecture by Anne Imberty (CERMAV, France), presented as a TEDx-talk. More than ten European speakers are already confirmed.
In addition, it is a great opportunity for glycobiologists to present their favorite glycans as "My glycans in 300 seconds", or as short communication and posters.
