The Zoom link for the September Educational Webinar will be sent to you via email on September 18, 2024. Attend for a chance to win a FREE FALL COURSE! 

This webinar will introduce participants to the fundamentals of glycobiology, glycobioinformatics tools and introduction to GlyGen: Computational and Informatics Resources for Glycoscience, focusing on their roles in analyzing genes, proteins, and glycans.

Dr. Michael Tiemeyer (BIOF-GLYC 031)

Dr. Michael Tiemeyer is a prominent figure in the field of glycoscience, known for his expertise in glycobiology and his contributions to understanding the role of glycosylation in human development and disease. As a professor and researcher at the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center (CCRC), Dr. Tiemeyer focuses on the study of complex carbohydrates, particularly the glycan structures that are bound to proteins and lipids. His work is pivotal in unraveling the mechanisms by which these glycans influence cellular communication, immune responses, and the progression of diseases such as cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders. Dr. Tiemeyer’s research has significantly advanced our knowledge of glycan function and has been instrumental in the development of glycan-based diagnostics and therapeutics.
