Techniques for Characterization of Complex Carbohydrates
Two courses will be offered in the summer of 2001 at the Complex
Carbohydrate Research Center (CCRC) of The University of Georgia:
Course 1, Analytical Techniques for Carbohydrate Structure
Determination (June 11-15) and Course 2, Separation and Characterization
of Glycoconjugate Oligosaccharides (June 18-22).
The courses consist of hands-on laboratory work, lectures, and
demonstrations. Also included are modules on using mass spectrometry
and/or NMR for analysis of glycoconjugates. A laboratory manual
incorporating selected analytical techniques and references will
be provided. Each course will feature a guest lecture on a current
research topic in carbohydrate science. More details can be seen
at the CCRC web site (http://www.ccrc.uga.edu/web/training/trainingframe.html)
