IV IBSB: Brazilian CAZyme Research Meeting

IV IBSB: Brazilian CAZyme Research Meeting
February 8th, 2023

In its fourth edition, the IBSB: Brazilian CAZyme Research Meeting will gather the main topics on carbohydrate enzymology research carried out in Brazil, with speakers from different institutions. The meeting will count on the participation of Prof. Bernard Henrissat (Technical University of Denmark, DTU), founder of CAZy database and one of the leading international names in the glycofield. The event will be held in person and aims to promote the exchange of knowledge between researchers and expand the collaboration network.
