2024 GlycoMIP Summer School @ UGA

Location

What You Will Learn

The 2024 GlycoMIP Summer School @ UGA provided lectures on fundamental and applied concepts specific to the research and service areas of the MIP, as well as hands‑on instrument and techniques modules for the characterization and modeling of glycomaterials.

• Glycomaterials: Overview of the current state of glycomaterials science and applications in research and development
• Analytical: Overview of mass spectrometry, biolayer interferometry, and NMR applied to glycomaterials
• Modeling: Computational methods and capabilities for glycomaterials
• Research: GlycoMIP scholar lunch‑hour presentations and discussion

Who Should Attend

• Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers new to glycomaterials seeking an overview of the science and techniques or planning to use GlycoMIP facilities
• Advanced undergraduate students with research experience interested in pursuing graduate studies in glycoscience or glycomaterials
• Researchers interested in synthesis, characterization, or computational capabilities of GlycoMIP facilities
• Industry scientists new to glycomaterials science seeking an overview of the field and available technologies

Applicants were required to have completed, or be close to completing, a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry, biochemistry, or a related field. Applicants also had to be working or studying in the United States.

Cost and Application Requirements

There was no cost for the short course, as it was funded by GlycoMIP’s National Science Foundation award (DMR‑1933525). The application process was open to individuals working or studying in the United States; international applications could not be considered. Participants were selected from completed applications received by Friday, August 16, 2024. Participants were responsible for their own travel arrangements and expenses. Travel assistance may have been available for attendees from non‑R1, MSI, or HBCU institutions.
