International symposium on microbial glycoconjugates

[Kiyoko F. Aoki-Kinoshita]

We are organizing the “International Symposium on Microbial Glycoconjugate” which will be held March 1-3 , 2022. The conference is free and we are aiming to translate the experience including social and networking aspects into a virtual meeting.

This symposium combines two projects: MicroGlycoDB and the GlyCosmos Project, which is a member of the Glyspace Alliance, including GlyGen and Glycomics@Expasy. MicroGlycoDB is a database of microbial glycans and pathways. The Glycosmos Portal is a Web portal for glycan-related omics data, providing an integrated interface for searching and browsing glycan-related genes, proteins, diseases, etc. 

This symposium will consist of talks introducing research relevant to each project, as well as User Workshops via the Discord system, where participants can try out and give feedback regarding these databases and portals.
