About the symposium

Glycoscience meets
food and nutrition.

The symposium promotes the integration of glycoscience with food and nutrition research through international exchange and collaboration.

It explores the structure, function, biosynthesis and bioconversion of food-derived glycans, as well as the interplay between nutrition and protein glycosylation in vivo.

No registration fee is charged for this symposium.

Organized by

  • Nanjing Agricultural University
  • Glyco-Bioengineering Committee,
    Chinese Society of Biotechnology
  • Jiangsu Nutrition Society
  • Shanghai Science and Technology Exchange Center
