Date: July 16th, 2021.
Location: The Cloud.
We are pleased to inform you that the 5th annual New England Glyco-Chemistry Meeting, will be held virtually on Friday July 16, 2021. The uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, has once again forced us to conduct the meeting via Zoom. With the virtual nature of the meeting, we welcome both speakers and attendees from outside New England.
The New England Glyco-Chemistry Meeting is a non-profit, educational organization with the mission to bring together like-minded carbohydrate chemists and biologists to the Boston area to discuss their latest research results. Boston and the greater New England area is a hub for biomedical related research and in particular, carbohydrate research. The goal for the New England Glyco-Chemistry Meeting is to bring researchers interested in the broadly defined area of carbohydrate chemistry and biology from Boston and around the world together for one day to discuss the latest developments in carbohydrate research and its larger applications in biology and materials science.
The meeting features an excellent group of invited speakers: Roberto Adamo (GSK), Martina Delbianco (Maxplanck), Jason Dwyer (URI), Carmen Galan (Bristol), and Jia Niu (BC), Spencer Williams (Melbourne). Please circulate this information and encourage your colleagues and coworkers to attend and present their work at this meeting. Registration is free. More information, including a link for registration, is available on the meeting website:
About NEGCM:
Inspired by the great success of the Midwest Carbohydrate and Glycobiology Symposium (MCGS) and the rich carbohydrate science that is occurring in the Boston area, Professor Clay Bennett decided to create a sister meeting in the New England area. The first three in person meetings (2017, 2018 and 2019) were a great success. In 2020, we were forced, by the pandemic, to hold a virtual meeting, which given the limitation of Zoom, was also very successful. We look forward to seeing all of you again at the 5th meeting on July 16, 2021. Out of an abundance of caution, we are planning another virtual meeting, which will hopefully be our last. Rest assured we are planning to hold the 6th meeting in 2021 at Brandeis University.
