Glycolipid Meeting 2009
Hamburg, Friday, 12.06.2009
General Information:
This workshop seeks to bring together scientists from a wide range of scientific fields who have an interest in research on the synthesis and characterisation of glycolipids and similar structures. The purpose of the meeting is to promote the interaction of scientists working on synthesis and study of mesoscalic systems such as colloids, micelles, membranes, liquid crystals and thin films. Furthermore we wish to bring together the expertise in the field of characterisation by means of different techniques such as neutron and X-ray scattering, chemical analysis and modelling and to provide a forum for discussion of further scientific programs.
