Annual Mid-South Glycoscience Meeting
Our growing appreciation of glycoscience and the role of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates in various biological processes and biomedical applications is quickly changing our research fields. The complexity and fast-moving nature of the field make it necessary for glycoscientists to come together and share new developments in the field, as well as to help introduce researchers to the field who have come across questions of glycoscience in their research.
The Mid-South Glycoscience Meeting is dedicated to bringing together researchers from various disciplines across the Mid-South region and beyond to discuss issues in glycoscience, foster collaborations, and learn new techniques and technologies. Featuring research highlights from regional researchers, distinguished external speakers, and experts in the field, the event is designed to be an accessible venue for researchers and trainees to share their work, network, and foster collaborations.
The meeting is sponsored by the Glycoscience Center of Research Excellence (GlyCORE), the only dedicated glycoscience research center in the Mid-South region. Established in 2020, GlyCORE seeks to support and foster glycoscience within the Mid-South region, providing specialized instrumentation and expertise to support both dedicated glycoscientists and biomedical researchers whose research happens to intersect with glycoscience.

Welcome,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, Prof. Josh Sharp, the investigators, and the Core Directors of the Glycoscience Center of Research Excellence (GlyCORE), I am pleased to welcome you to the annual Mid-South Glycoscience Meeting at the University of Mississippi. This year’s meeting will be held on Thursday, August 6, 2026, in Oxford, Mississippi, with both in-person and virtual attendance options available.
The Mid-South Glycoscience Meeting brings together glycoscientists from across the region to share their work, explore emerging directions in our rapidly growing field, and establish new collaborations across disciplines. The program showcases research from investigators throughout the Mid-South and from distinguished scientists across the country, who will present their latest findings and perspectives.
Hosted and sponsored by GlyCORE, the region’s only dedicated glycoscience research center, this meeting highlights the expertise and resources available through our specialized Research Cores. Established in 2020, GlyCORE provides advanced instrumentation and scientific support to investigators at the University of Mississippi and to glycoscience researchers across the region.
The Organizing Committee is committed to ensuring a collegial and welcoming environment that supports established investigators, introduces new researchers and trainees to the field, and fosters meaningful discussion.
We hope you find the program both inspiring and informative, and we look forward to welcoming you—either in person or virtually—to the Glycoscience Center of Research Excellence on the beautiful University of Mississippi campus.
Thomas Werfel, Associate Director
Glycoscience Center of Research Excellence (GlyCORE)
