Glycobasque 6, the 6th edition of the annual international glycoscience meeting, recently concluded with resounding success. This gathering brought together professionals, experts, and researchers from diverse glycoscience disciplines, spanning glycobiology, immunology, and carbohydrate chemistry.
The event, hosted by the Chemical Glycobiology group under Jesús Jiménez-Barbero, Ikerbasque Professor and Scientific Director of CIC bioGUNE – member of BRTA – and the Glycotechnology group under Niels Reichardt, from CIC biomaGUNE, took place at the auditorium of the Edificio Barco (Building 101) at the Bizkaia Technology Park in Zamudio on November 23rd to 24th.
Glycobasque 6 served as a dynamic platform for the exchange of cutting-edge insights, fostering collaboration and propelling the progression of knowledge within the ever-evolving field of glycoscience. Over 1.5 days, renowned experts in glycobiology, immunology, and carbohydrate chemistry delivered insightful seminars, shedding light on various aspects of glycoscience, including cancer glycobiology, glycan synthesis, immune therapy, glycoconjugate vaccine design, and the analysis of carbohydrate-protein interactions.
The meeting underscored the pivotal role of glycoscience in contemporary drug development, gene therapy, regenerative medicine, and disease diagnostics. Participants were enlightened about the immense opportunities that glycoscience presents for both basic and translational research. Seminars addressed crucial topics such as cancer glycobiology, glycan synthesis, immune therapy, glycoconjugate vaccine design, and the analysis of carbohydrate-protein interactions.
The organizers express their gratitude to all participants, sponsors, and collaborators who played a crucial role in the triumph of this significant international meeting.
