Few days to go until 21st International Cyclodextrin Symposium

In a few days the global cyclodextrin community gathers in Dunkerque to share thoughts, and results, discuss collaborations and renew friendships.

From CarboHyde‘s perspective, there are several lectures that we look forward to with great excitement:

  1. Francesco Stellacci – our long time collaborator from EPFL , pioneer of using cyclodextrins as antiviral compounds, founder of asterivir
  2. Matthew “Oki” O’Connor – CEO of Cyclarity Therapeutics , a close partner of us doing groundbreaking science of using CDs in atherosclerosis
  3. Tamas Sohajda – CarboHyde CEO delivers a review on using cyclodextrins as active ingredients
  4. Julien Parcq & Damien TRUFFIN – from Roquette, our key partner in cyclodextrin education, discussing critical attributes of CD manufacturing & safety
  5. Milo Malanga PhD – CarboHyde CSO sharing from synthetic challenges
  6. Juan Manuel Benito – Bicyclos HEurope partner, expert in using CDs for gene delivery
  7. Caitriona O’DriscollGENEGUT coordinator, an expert in using CDs for gene delivery
  8. Francesco Trotta & Adrián Matencio Durán, our research partners on nanosponges from University of Turin
  9. Szabolcs Béni – from CarboHyde advisory board and BiCyclos member from Eötvös Loránd University, an expert on CD NMR and analysis
  10. Ilse Manet – BiCyclos coordinator, an expert in CD analysis and applications

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

21st International Cyclodextrin Symposium, Carbohyde

Our CEO, Tamas Sohajda, presented at CPhI North America

Here are a few words from Tamás about the conference:

A few weeks ago at CPHI North America, I had the pleasure of helping the audience peek into the future of cyclodextrins by showcasing some of the applications we are working on at CarboHyde such as:
– therapeutic cyclodextrins and their development
– using cyclodextrins in vaccines
– using cyclodextrins for gene delivery

I had never spoken at CPHI before, yet it was a fascinating experience, mainly due to James Reidy’s fantastic support.

Bicyclos project runs at full speed

In the past weeks, we have had the pleasure of welcoming Ilse Manet, the leader of the Bicyclos consortium, to our lab and city. We discussed the progress of the staff exchange program, the science we are doing—results obtained, experiments planned—and the fine details of the workshop we organized together in September in Budapest.

The Bicyclos International Workshop will be held in Budapest from September 24th to September 26th.

The workshop is open to all R&I personnel from both public and private sectors who are interested in carbohydrate research, especially cyclodextrins. On September 24-25, there will be seminars on the sustainable synthesis of carbohydrates and their derivatives, including their characterization and application in devices. The following days, September 25-26, will cover topics such as launching a spinoff company, with seminars by experts from CarboHyde and Cyclarity Therapeutics, and guidance on writing an MSCA proposal, featuring sessions led by coordinators of MSCA projects, which will also include practical exercises.

Register here: Bicyclos International Workshop on September 24-26, 2024

A registration fee of 225 Euro applies and comprises participation in the event, digital copies of the seminar slides, lunches on 24-25 September, and coffee breaks on 24-25-26 September. Registration fees do not apply to Bicyclos staff members.

The deadline for registration is May 31, 2024
