Welcome to the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center (CCRC) at the University of Georgia.
The CCRC occupies an ~140,000 sq.ft. building specifically designed for the interdisciplinary and equipment-intensive nature of carbohydrate science. The Center is organized to optimize cooperation and collaboration among disciplines (biomedical glycoscience, plant and microbial glycoscience, synthetic and analytical chemistry), and to provide analytical services and training, both within the CCRC and to university, government, and industrial laboratories world-wide. Our faculty have research programs that span multiple research domains, which provides our students with a breadth of opportunities in their professional training and research.
News
The 2024 GGS will be held at the CCRC in Athens, GA over two days, Wednesday, May 1 and Thursday, May 2. Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day. Opportunities for poster presentations and for brief talks selected from among the poster abstracts will be available .
Additional information, as well as instructions for registration and abstract submission, can be found at the GGS Symposium website.
