Posted by The Glycobasque 8 is almost here! Join us in San Sebastián, Spain, on 23–24 October 2025 for two inspiring days of talks and poster sessions covering the latest advances in cancer glycobiology, glycan synthesis, immune therapy, glycoconjugate vaccines, carbohydrate–protein interactions, and many other exciting areas of glycoscience.
Glycobasque 8, the 8th edition of our annual international glycoscience meeting organized by the Glycotechnology (Niels Reichardt) and Chemical Glycobiology (Jesús Jiménez-Barbero) groups of the BRTA centers CIC biomaGUNE (San Sebastián) and CIC bioGUNE (Derio). Glycoscience is becoming increasingly relevant to many areas of drug development, gene therapy, regenerative medicine and disease diagnostics and presents immense opportunities for both basic and translational research.
The 1.5 day meeting will provide seminars from leading experts in glycobiology, immunology and carbohydrate chemistry and showcase state-of-the-art research from participants with backgrounds in cancer glycobiology, glycan synthesis, immune therapy, glycoconjugate vaccine design and analysis of carbohydrate-protein interactions among others. The meeting will take place at the spacious auditorium of the Edificio Central (Paseo Mikeletegi 53) at the Guipuzcoa Technology Park in San Sebastian.
Keynote Speakers:
Martina Delbianco – Carbohydrate foldamers and assemblies
Lars Nitschke – Functions of sialoglycans and siglecs on lymphocytes
Xuefei Huang – Development of next generation carbohydrate-based vaccines
June Ereño – Molecular insights into siglec–glycan-mediated immune regulation
Registration and abstract submission on www.glycobasque.es
Abstracts can be submitted until October 7
