Summer School 2025 at Virginia Tech
workshop
Summer School 2025 at Virginia Tech

6/9/2025 - 6/12/2025

GlycoMIP’s 2025 Summer School @ VT offers an on-campus, immersive learning experience focused on the characterization of glycomaterials. Understanding the relationships between the molecular structure and functional properties of carbohydrate-based products is critical to their design and performance.

The 4-day event will combine lecture with hands-on laboratory exercises and will offer an opportunity to network with others studying and working with glycomaterials.  Participants will work in the VT-based GlycoMIP user facilities and will learn how the MIP can support their future research needs.
