Carbohydrate Bioengineering Meeting (CBM15), Ghent, Belgium, May 5-8, 2024
Carbohydrate Bioengineering Meeting (CBM15), in a true interdisciplinary fashion, the conference focusses on both fundamental and applied aspects of carbohydrates and carbohydrate-active enzymes in fields as diverse as food/feed, pharma, cosmetics, biomaterials and the bioeconomy. More specifically, the following topics will be covered:
- carbohydrate diversity and metabolism
- carbohydrates in health and disease
- omics technology and bioinformatics
- enzyme mechanism and structure-function
- enzyme discovery and engineering
- applied biocatalysis and process development
In keeping with the previous editions, CBM15 will bring together glycoscientists from all over the world to share their latest findings and most exciting achievements in a friendly and warm atmosphere. Every session will be opened by an expert from academia or industry, followed by speakers selected from submitted abstracts. We especially encourage contributions from young researchers, who will also get an opportunity to pitch their poster via speed talks. Further interactions will be stimulated through social events, including a welcome reception and conference dinner (included in the registration).

FASEB Microbial Glycobiology Conference, Southbridge, Massachusetts, USA, Sept 8-12, 2024
FASEB Microbial Glycobiology Conference For over 25 years, this conference has brought together an outstanding group of well-established and emerging leaders, along with a diverse group of early-career scientists and students to discuss fundamental and mechanistic aspects of microbial glycobiology, with a strong commitment to apply that knowledge in areas including biomedicine, bioengineering, and biotechnology. This year’s sessions will provide a unique platform for scientists who study the role of glycans in host-microbe interactions, microbial survival, and pathogenesis. The scientific program is structured to bring researchers together to share their latest results (including unpublished data) that will advance the field. The major themes will specifically cover the significance of glycans in bacterial cell envelope biosynthesis and function, and their role of glycans in cell signaling. The program also includes discussion on host-pathogen interactions in health and disease, microbiome modulation, chemical glycobiology and glycoengineering, glycoimmunology, and glycoconjugate-based vaccine development.
