From Golgi organization to Glycan function
5-7 April 2022
The Old Ship Hotel, Brighton, UK

Abstract deadline: 7 February 2022

Earlybird registration deadline: 7 February 2022

Extended deadline for late breaking poster abstracts: 16 February 2022*

Without a template, the biosynthesis of glycans heavily relies on the organisation of enzymes in the Golgi apparatus. In addition, glycan functions often feedback on important basic cell biological processes such as membrane trafficking and signalling. Therefore, understanding the interfaces between intracellular organisation and glycobiology is crucial to provide new tools and understanding for the functional investigation of glycans.

This scientific meeting will bring together glycoscientists with cell biologists to foster new ideas and collaborations between both disciplines. A range of topics from traditional cell and glycobiology through analytics and synthetic carbohydrate chemistry all the way to systems level studies will be explored at the event to encourage more joined-up thinking.

Oral communication slots are available at this meeting. All attendees, particularly researchers in the early stages of their career, are invited to submit a poster abstract for consideration as an oral communication. You can submit your abstract here.

*Please note that all poster presenters will need to attend in person. Remote delegates will not be able to present an online poster but they may be eligible to present an online oral communication if they are selected for this method.
