Finnish Glycoscience Network

The Finnish Glycoscience Network is an unofficial list of Finnish research groups active in the field of glycoresearch (glyco refers to sugars). The aim of the network is to provide means for easy communication and enhance research relating to glycosciences in Finland.

These pages contain contact information for the network group members as well as background information on the groups' research. Information on glycoresearch events will also be posted on the website.
