CarboHyde Poster Prize

To be awarded at the 8th European Cyclodextrin Conference

CarboHyde is pleased to sponsor a Poster Prize recognizing the industrially most relevant research presented at the conference.

The award will be granted to a single poster presenter whose work demonstrates outstanding potential for industrial application, as selected by the attending members of CarboHyde.

Prize:
• Award certificate (diploma)
• Fully funded two-week research scholarship at CarboHyde in Budapest, including hands-on laboratory training and mentorship.

The scholarship is intended to support the continuation of the awardee’s research and to foster collaborative development with CarboHyde, with a view to translating academic findings into industrial solutions.

We look forward to engaging with talented researchers and supporting innovation in cyclodextrin science.

A week ago, we were bathing in cyclodextrin science in Budapest at the 7th European Cyclodextrin Symposium. As usual, the well-organized event was mainly dominated by European attendees, yet we also met fellows from Japan and the United States too.

Cyclodextrin manufacturers were represented by RoquetteWACKERLigand Pharmaceuticals and Cyclolab R&D Ltd. (the organizer, of course) and I was happy to see several companies focusing on developing cyclodextrin-based therapeutics, such as Beren Therapeutics, Cyclarity TherapeuticsASDERA and CarboHyde.

During the 2,5 days we enjoyed 9 sessions of various topics:

  1. Cyclodextrin production & enzymology
  2. Synthesis of CD derivatives
  3. Cyclodextrin complexes and self-assembly
  4. CDs in drug delivery
  5. Biological effects of CDs
  6. CDs in gene delivery
  7. Environmental applications
  8. Analysis, application in sensing and imaging
  9. Agri-food applications

We had sessions for short presentations and could enjoy 67 posters during the breaks.

Personally, the presentations I found most interesting from academia were

At CarboHyde, we contributed to 6 oral talks and several posters highlighting our active involvement in both industrial and academic cyclodextrin research.

My takeaway is that the event was fantastic, especially due to the great conversations we could enjoy during discussions, breaks, and social events via the joint contribution to our community.

See you all in Dunkerque on the 10th June, 2014 at the International event!

I am really excited already, as Sophie Fourmentin showed great effort to invite CD cyclodextrins from all over the world, so this will truly be a global event. I would be extremely happy if not only global academia, but global pharma with all the several dozen CD users would be present to set good directions for the future of cyclodextrin research.
