Before the meeting, Professor Peter and the members of my group had a lunch meeting, and Prof. Chen shared his research during the post-doctoral period. The students also had a warm exchange with Prof. Peter on sugar science related issues.

First, Tiehai Li gave an academic report entitled "Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Complex Glycans and Glycoconjugates". You Yang gave an academic report entitled "Synthesis and evaluation of bacterial glycans and cyclic sugars". Prof. Chen gave an academic report entitled "Self-Assembly and Functions of Saccharide-based Macromolecules".
