We are delighted to announce the GlycanTrigger Scientific Symposium to be held in Porto, on September 24–25, 2026!
Over the course of a day and a half, this symposium will bring together an amazing lineup of international speakers and key references in the fields of glycobiology, immunology, clinical medicine and advanced glyco-technology with the overarching aim of discussing, in a vibrant environment the fundamental roles of glycans in immune responses, mucosal homeostasis, host–microbe interactions, and chronic inflammatory diseases, including Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and other Immune-Mediated Diseases.
With a multidisciplinary program, the symposium will feature keynote lectures on glycans in modern immunology, advances in glycomics and glycoproteomics, the potential of glycans as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and their promising role in prediction and prevention of Immune-Mediated Diseases
We’re proud to welcome a line-up of outstanding speakers, including internationally recognized experts in glycoscience, immunology, and clinical research. The symposium will also feature short talks and poster presentations, with a strong emphasis on supporting early-career researchers and encouraging cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Organized by the GlycanTrigger EU project, this event is open to glycoscientists, immunologists, clinicians and students with an interest in the power of glycans as master shapers of human health and disease.
