The important roles of carbohydrates in human homeostasis, immunology, allergy, transplantation, microbial and viral infection, host-microbe interaction, cancer, etc. have been increasingly recognized.

Carbohydrates GRC brings together experts and emerging investigators to present cutting-edge research progresses and to openly discuss ideas and future directions in the carbohydrate field.

Major topics:

• carbohydrate structures and glycomics to synthetic strategies
• carbohydrate biosynthesis and degradation enzymes
• carbohydrate-based prebiotics and therapeutics
• glycoimmunology and chemical glycobiology
• human and microbial glycomes
• carbohydrates in host-microbe interactions.

The conference will feature 29-31 invited talks, 12-16 short talks selected from submitted abstracts, and 4 poster preview sessions. The goal of the conference is to advance the field of carbohydrates which will greatly facilitate the improvement of human health.
