Frontiers in Carbohydrate Synthesis Symposium, Jan 28-29, 2021
Posted: January 7, 2021
This Symposium will explore progress made over the past decade on the synthesis of glycans including: chemical catalysis; synthetic methodologies for preparation of glycans and glycoconjugates (Milligram to Kilogram quantities); automation of glycan synthesis; and the democratization of glycan synthesis such that ‘specialized experts’ are not required to routinely synthesize these molecules. The Symposium will held virtually, is free of charge, and will include panel discussions on each day. We invite you to attend and take part in these important discussions.
