 - glycan-linked diagnosis and therapy (markers and vaccines)
 - methods for analysis and identification of glycoconjugates
 - structure-function relationships of glycosylation patterns
 - the metabolic art of directed glycosylation
 - software tools for analysis and identification
 - integration of data from glycomics, proteomics and genomics resources
