BioF:GREAT in full force at the American Chemical Society Spring 2026 conference
BioF:GREAT investigators, postdoctoral researchers and students hosted and attended sessions at ACS Spring 2026 in Atlanta, presenting across glycoanalytics, glycoenzyme engineering and glycoscience education.
Team members contributed talks and panel discussions spanning the initiative’s research and education aims — from high-throughput glycomics by MALDI-MS and the structural analysis of plant cell wall polysaccharides, through to a panel on new innovations in the field and a session on building shared teaching materials for undergraduate glycoscience.
Attending conferences outside the glycobiology community is a deliberate part of the BioF:GREAT strategy: much of the initiative’s audience — chemists, engineers, educators and students — encounters glycans only in passing, and meetings such as ACS are where those introductions are made.
