This Symposium brings together laboratories in San Diego, and elsewhere in California, that have a primary or major interest in glycobiology. The objectives are to exchange information on the latest advances in the field, and to promote interactions between members of these laboratories and other attendees from academia, biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry. To maximize interactions, the setting is informal.
