"Collaboration Talks on Glycobiology" is the title of the series of two events focusing on the topic "Glycobiology" organised by Prof. Dr Martin Götte, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University of Münster (UM), and Dr Jessica Onyeisi, postdoctoral fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) at the same department. The events are being held with the support of the University of Münster's Brazil Centre and  will take place online in March and April 2024.

The Talks will bring together leading names in the field of Glycobiology from Germany, Brazil and Argentina, who will present their respective research and be able to discuss it with the other speakers and answer questions from the audience. Thus, the aim is not only to create a favourable environment for initiating cooperation between the participants but also to spark relevant discussions between the experts from the participating countries.

The "Collaboration Talks on Glycobiology" series was initiated by Dr Jessica Onyeisi, a  fellow of the renowned Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH).
