Summer School

Theoretical and hands-on course in emerging technologies towards understanding the human glycome.

The topics will address the state of the art and challenges in glycan microarrays, mass spectrometry-based glycomics and glycoproteomics and glycobioinformatics, merging machine learning and glycoscience.  It will comprise lectures by international leaders, covering principles and practical aspects, and hands-on sessions with a focus on data analysis and web-based tools, software, databases and resources.
