International Glycoconjugate Organization

The International Glycoconjugate Organization (IGO) is a scientific community dedicated to studying glycoconjugates—complex molecules where sugars (glycans) are attached to proteins or lipids. These molecules are essential in many biological processes like cell communication, immune response, and disease development. The IGO promotes research, collaboration, and education to better understand glycoconjugates’ roles in health and disease. It organizes conferences, supports scientists, and advances knowledge in glycobiology, helping to develop new diagnostics and treatments for various medical conditions.
