ACGG-DB pre-meeting at Seoul
Address
I appreciate to inform pre-meeting of ACGG-DB. This meeting is held at Yonsei University at
Korea by a kind offer of Prof. Jin Won CHO with his hospitality.
ACGG is a communicative activity for encouraging and sharing glycan studies in Asian countries.
The ACGG-DB is a part of the ACGG, and is a trial effort for supporting scientist’s communication
through the WEB and computing systems. Although ACGG-DB is not any actual existing system
yet, we hopefully discuss about feasibility of collaborative network and possible actual effort at the
first meeting in Korea.
