Welcome

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the GLUPOR 14!

It is with great pleasure that, in the name of the Organizing Committee, I invite you to participate in the 14th International Meeting of the Portuguese Carbohydrate Group – GLUPOR 14. 

GLUPOR 14 will be hosted by the Applied Molecular Biosciences Unit, NOVA School of Science and Technology (UCIBIO, FCT-NOVA) in Caparica Campus from January 16th to 18th 2023.

The symposium is an initiative of the Portuguese Carbohydrate Group and the Portuguese Chemical Society (SPQ), aiming at bridging together scientists from different areas working on carbohydrate-related research. The meeting provides a unique opportunity to present and discuss the scientific advances in the Glycoscience field and to strengthen existing and establish new collaborations. 

We are excited about the opportunity to present and discuss the scientific advances in carbohydrate research, and we hope that new collaborations are established among the carbohydrate national community. We will cover different and transversal areas of basic and applied glycoscience and invite all the research community to contribute to the following topics:  

  • Carbohydrate synthesis, structure and molecular recognition

  • Glycobiology in health and disease

  • Glycomics, glycoproteomics and novel biomarkers 

  • Carbohydrates in infection and microbial-host interactions

  • Carbohydrates in food and agriculture

  • Carbohydrates in biotechnology and other applications

  • Carbohydrate-based biomaterials 

Looking forward to welcoming you in Caparica,
