Welcome to SFG

The Society for Glycobiology is a non-profit scholarly society devoted to the pursuit of knowledge among scientists worldwide. 

The objectives of the society are to promote knowledge, encourage research, educate young scientists and stimulate personal communication in an inter-disciplinary sense, using as the common meeting ground an interest in the complex carbohydrates of glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosaminoglycans, and the biological systems in which they are found.

Glycobiology

Established as the leading journal in the field, Glycobiology provides a unique forum dedicated to research into the biological functions of glycans, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans and free oligosaccharides, and on proteins that specifically interact with glycans.

Glycobiology is essential reading for researchers in biomedicine, basic science, and the biotechnology industries.
