The Carbohydrate Research Award 2011.

We are pleased to announce that the 2011 Carbohydrate Research Award for Creativity in Carbohydrate Chemistry has been won by Professor Matthieu Sollogoub, Professor of Molecular Chemistry at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie-Paris 6, Sorbonne Universités, Paris, France. Given every two years, the Award was established in 2001 by the Editors and Publisher of Carbohydrate Research and consists of a cheque for $1000, a certificate and a complimentary subscription to the journal for two years. The Award is presented to a carbohydrate scientist, no older than 15 years past the PhD, who has made significant original contributions to the field, in its broadest sense. Professor Sollogoub will present a lecture on his work during the opening ceremony of the 16th European Carbohydrate Symposium in Sorrento, Italy (July 3–7, 2011), will be invited to publish a paper based on his research in Carbohydrate Research, and will also supply cover art for the journal in 2012.
