This exceptional course aims to provide an easy-to-understand, and current overview of the fundamental facts, concepts, and methods in Glycosciences.
It aims to encourage research in Glycosciences, by revealing the complex involvement of glycans in distinct human-related physiological and pathological conditions and the current tools used in Glycosciences.
We expect this course will be a reference course for students and scientists at all levels and the foundation for fertile collaborations among all the Glycoscience scientific community.
