Frontiers in Carbohydrate Synthesis Symposium
1-5:30 p.m. EST
01/28/2021 – 01/29/2021 Exploring synthetic methodologies for preparation of glycans and glycoconjugates (Milligram to Kilogram quantities) & democratization and automation of glycan synthesis.
This symposium, organized by the Common Fund Glycoscience Program, will explore progress made on the synthesis of glycans over the past decade including: 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.
Sessions Begin at 1:00 p.m. EST each day
