3rd Flash Conference


"Carbohydrates at the Interfaces of Biology, Medicine and Materials Science"
 
9 to 13 March 2008
Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney, Co. Kerry, Ireland Who IRCSET, Ireland
 
Modern carbohydrate chemistry encompasses the synthesis, analysis and study of the carbohydrates which are relevant to biology, biotechnology, medicine and materials science.  This flash conference aims to bring together a diverse group of scientists who are working in the broad area of carbohydrate chemistry and chemical biology to discuss recent progress and challenges.
 
Topics will include:
 
- Synthesis and (chemo)enzymatic synthesis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates.
- Novel chemical methods for carbohydrate analysis
- Glycobiology, glycomics
- Development of therapeutics/vaccines based on carbohydrates
- Carbohydrate processing enzymes
- Glycomaterials
- Structural studies of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates
 
Visionary experimental studies and theoretical contributions from all areas of chemistry and chemical biology are solicited with a focus on novel concepts rather than proven applications.
