14th Jenner Glycobiology and Medicine Symposium

The Jenner Glycobiology and Medicine symposia were the first and main international multidisciplinary conferences set up to examine the relevance of glycobiology to immunology, medicine and clinical practice. This 14^th meeting aims to provide an international forum for researchers to disseminate the findings of current leading-edge research in both novel and classic fields of glycobiology, glycoimmunology and glycomedicine. 

Attendance is free.

This symposium is aimed at scientists and clinicians at all levels and all disciplines involved in the research and management of human diseases. 

The programme will consist of a single day of talks on 27 October 2021 (from 10:55 to 18:30 CET) spread across four sessions centred on glycosylation and glycan recognition, glycosylation in innate and adaptive immunity, translational glycobiology and a plenary session. This will be provided by Sir Greg Winter, Nobel Laureate.
