Keynote Topics

The keynote programme at EUROCARB 2019 covered a range of subjects within carbohydrate chemistry and glycobiology, including sulfoglycolysis, bacterial glycoconjugates, and glycosphingolipid analogues.

Sulfoglycolysis
A keynote lecture addressing metabolic pathways and chemistry related to sulfoglycolysis.
Bacterial Glycoconjugates
A keynote presentation on the structure and biological relevance of bacterial glycoconjugates.
Glycosphingolipid Analogues
A keynote talk exploring synthetic approaches and function of glycosphingolipid analogues.

The keynote speakers at EUROCARB 2019 brought together a remarkable breadth of expertise from across the carbohydrate field, reflecting the diverse and interdisciplinary nature of the symposium. Their lectures delved into cutting-edge topics such as the intricate metabolic pathways of sulfoglycolysis, the structural complexity of bacterial glycoconjugates and their biological roles, and the synthetic design of glycosphingolipid analogues for therapeutic exploration. Each presentation offered attendees a window into the creativity and rigor driving modern carbohydrate research, from fundamental chemical principles to translational applications. The programme was carefully curated to highlight both established leaders and emerging perspectives, fostering rich discussion and collaboration throughout the congress week in Leiden.
