Glycobiology and Medicine

About this book

The potential for glycobiology to improve the practice of medicine has been well

recognised, which is why biannual meetings concerning the association have been

taking place for the last 14 years. The science of glycobiology has matured rapidly,

and with it the far reaching clinical implications are becoming understood. The next

decade is going to see this final frontier of science conquered. The impact this

understanding of glycobiology will have upon our practice of medicine is going to

be exciting. The 7th Jenner Glycobiology and Medicine Symposium was designed

to reflect these advances. All the major clinical areas were involved, with contributions

from pivotal players in science and medicine.
