What Current Members Say
"The APS has been an integral part of my PhD experience. Between introducing me to a broad array of peptide science, allowing me to meet and develop relationships with colleagues near and far, and providing me with the opportunity to present, discuss, and get feedback on my own research, APS has provided a foundation for the beginning of my career."
Zoë Adams
Ph.D. - Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Scripps Research
"Attending the American Peptide Symposium as a PhD student allowed me to engage with research at the cutting-edge of peptide chemistry, and offered an amazing networking opportunity within a warm and inclusive community. I hope to attend for many years to come!"
Tess Lamer
Ph.D. Candidate
University of Alberta
"My membership in the American Peptide Society and participation in the biennial APS Symposia has fostered scientific collaborations with trailblazing scientists from academia and industry, who are pushing the boundaries of peptide and protein chemistry into new scientific arenas. The strongly diverse, inclusive and welcoming aspects of the APS have and will continue to provide a great opportunity for the education and professional development of young peptide scientists from all over the world."
