Who Should Attend:
- Graduate students and post-doctoral researchers who are new to glycomaterials and seek an overview of the science and techniques, or who may wish to use GlycoMIP facilities to conduct research
- Advanced undergraduate students with research experience interested in pursuing graduate studies in the fields of glycoscience or glycomaterials
- Researchers interested in the synthesis, characterization or computational capabilities of GlycoMIP facilities
- Industry scientists who are new to glycomaterials science and who seek an overview of the field and available technologies
Applicants should have completed a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry, biochemistry or a related field, or are close to finishing in the case of undergraduate applicants, as familiarity with basic chemical concepts will be required. Applicants also must be working or studying in the US.
What you will learn:
GlycoMIP’s Summer School will provide lectures on fundamental and applied concepts specific to the research and service areas of the MIP as well as hands-on instrument and techniques modules for the design and testing of glycomaterials:
