Glycobiology World Congress (Glycobiology-2015) was held during August 10-12, 2015 at DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport Hotel, USA. The conference was marked with the attendance of Editorial Board Members of supported OMICS Group Journals, Scientists, young and brilliant researchers, business delegates and talented student communities representing more than 30 countries, who made this conference fruitful and productive.

This conference was based on the theme “Transforming Glycobiology: A Road map for the Future” which included the following scientific tracks: 

·         Synthesis and Biological Role of Glycans

·         Evolution of Glycan Diversity

·         Discovery and Classification of Glycan Binding Proteins

·         Glycan Catabolism and Systemic Physiology

·         Glycans in Diseases and Therapeutics

·         Glycomics and Bioinformatics

·         Glycobiology: Its Role In Human Health

·         Glyco Immunology

Glycobiology-2015 is moderated by Dr. Neil P.J. Price from National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, USA and Myron R Szewczuk from Queen’s University, Canada.

We are thankful to our below Honourable guests and Keynote Speakers for their generous support and suggestions.
