ANNOUNCEMENT

The GlycoBiology Summer School will take place on September 23-25 in Braga, Portugal, and it will be hosted by the University of Minho and CBMA.

This Summer School aims to be a joint learning event with participations of lecturers from 4 ITNs on GlycoBiology: Glycopharm, Immunoshape, Gastric Glyco Explorer and GlycoPar. In brief, the topics of the Summer School are:

• Glycobiology of Cancer

• Carbohydrate Immunomodulators

• Structural Glycopharmaceutics

• Parasite Glycobiology

The Summer School will further include a Workshop on managing R&D at enterprise level and on Intelectual property in a EU funding context. 

The invited speakers are presented below.

The GLYCOPHARM Mid-Term Review (MTR) meeting will be held on July 4th in Madrid, Spain and it will be host by the partner Universidad CEU San Pablo (USP-CEU). The main objective of this meeting is to assess the progress of the Initial Training Network (ITN) in delivering on the goals set at the begining of the project, on November 2012.

The Mid-Term Review should be understood as a constructive dialogue between the network participants and the Research Executive Agency project officer and is a valuable source of feedback to both the consortium and the Research Executive Agency (REA). For that reason, all recruited fellows as well as a representative of each partner are expected to gather for the MTR Meeting, including the Prof. Nishimura representing our associated partner in Japan, Hokkaido University.

Among other activities, all the recruited researchers (ESRs and ERs) will present a report offering an overview on their scientific and training progress within the GLYCOPHARM Network.

In addition, prior to the MTR meeting a welcome dinner will take place on July 3th.

The 3rd GLYCOPHARM's Network Meeting will be the Joint Meeting of the German partners, LMU, UKL-HD and ROCHE, and it will be held in Munich/Penzberg from Wednesday, June 25 (late afternoon) to Friday, June 27 (early afternoon).

In this meeting emphasis will be given to the following issues:

• the presentations of the recruited researchers
• teaching in writing/review skills
• seminar with distinguished guest speakers

In addition, an interesting visit to the ROCHE facilities are being scheduled for the attendees.

We look forward to meeting you there!

ANNOUNCEMENT

The Fundación Universitaria San Pablo CEU repeated once again the seminar about GLYCOPHARM to acquaint its students with the Marie Curie Actions.

On November 25, 4 members of GLYCOPHARM provides a seminar about GLYCOPHARM in the faculty of pharmacy of the Funadación Univarsitaria San Pablo CEU. The event was organized by Dr. Sonsoles Martín-Santamaría, associate professor in the university and member of GLYCOPHARM.
Two seminars were imparted during the session, on the one hand, Dr Sonsoles Martín-Santamaría gave an interesting seminar with scientific contents titled "Computational Chemical Biology: Toll-like receptors and galectins as therapeutic targets".

The main focus of the second seminar was to give an overview to the Marie Curie Actions, in particular, to the Initial Training Networks (ITN).  The seminar titled "GLYCOPHARM: an ITN Marie Curie project in our University" were imparted by Dr. Dolores Solis, a senior researcher at the Centro Superior de Investigaciones Científicas and coordinator of the ITN GLYCOPHARM. In this seminar there was a special participation of two Early Stage Researchers who explained their experience in GLYCOPHARM, Ms. Alessandra Lacetera and Radoslaw Borowski.

The University College Dublin (UCD) has organised the "Marie Curie Day @ UCD" on Thursday 21st November. It will be a day of activities focussed on Marie Curie funded research with the aim to highlight UCD’s involvement in Marie Curie Actions and to raise awareness and promote future involvement in the schemes. The Early Stage Researcher of GLYCOPHARM on this institution, Cecilia Romano, has been invited to participate displaying a poster about the project she is working on our ITN.

All our best wishes for our Marie Curie ambassador!

TRAINING ACTIVITY

This summer school will be organized in collaboration with the ITN DYNANO (http://www.dynano.eu/) and it will be focussed on dynamic nano-systems of application in glycosciences. Furthermore, in order to promote women in science the summer school will include a Women Scientists.’ Day with female speakers. 

1st GLYCOPHARM's Network Meeting will be held from 5 to 7 June 2013 and Prof. Stefan Oscarson (NUID-UCD) will host the meeting at University College Dublin (Ireland).

The meeting will include many training and team building activities as follows:

• Course: Module I of the course in Chemical Glycobiology & Biomedicine,

• Workshop on Structure-Based Drug Design

The second Supervisory Board meeting will take place during this event.

HOST: Dr. Sonsoles Martín Santamaría, Faculty of Farmacy, Fundación Universitaria San Pablo-CEU, Madrid, Spain. Member of  GLYCOPHARM Initial Training Network (GLYCOPHARM-ITN).

SPEAKERS: Dr. Dolores Solís, coordinator of GLYCOPHARM-ITN; Alessandra Lacetera, first Early Stage Reseaercher recruited by GLYCOPHARM-ITN, and Ioanna Kalograiaki, an Early Stage Researcher of DYNANO-ITN.   

PLACE: Room 103B, building C. Faculty of Farmacy, Fundación Universitaria San Pablo-CEU, Madrid, Spain   

TIME: 12:00-13:00 hrs.  

Two seminars will be held:

1. Computational Chemical Biology: Toll-like receptors and galectins as therapeutic targets

2. GLYCOPHARM: an ITN Marie Curie project in our University
