Date Published: 17-Oct-2012

Over 150 delegates are expected at the 5th Annual GlycoScience Ireland meeting, being hosted by NUI Galway this Friday (oct 19)

Glycoscience is the study of the complex sugars which cover all cells in the human body, and many of the proteins in the bloodstream.

This event brings together academic, industrial and clinical researchers to advance fundamental research and to develop novel technologies relevant to industry.

This area offers hope on rapid diagnosis of diseases such as cancer, or the creation of new more effective and targeted drugs.
