10th Jenner Glycobiology and Medicine Symposium
Saturday 31 March 2012 - Tuesday 3 April 2012
Venue: Deltaplein 200, Den Haag, 2554 EJ, Netherlands
The Jenner meetings in Glycobiology, organized by the UK Royal Society of Medicine since 1990, are intended for scientists and clinicians of all levels and all disciplines involved in the research and management of human diseases. The organizing Committee has put together a draft programme (enclosed) that addresses some of the key issues in this fast-moving field. One of our major aims in this meeting is to give PhD students and post-docs the opportunity to present and discuss their work. We expect to bring together an outstanding and interdisciplinary group of 100-150 scientists.
- To encourage more young scientists to participate and take up research in this area
- To encourage closer networking between academia and commerce
