Global Peptide Groups
Featuring Internationally Notable Peptide Science Research Groups.
The Chmielewski Group
Jean Chmielewski · Purdue University
The Chmielewski Group at Purdue University, led by Alice Watson Kramer Distinguished Professor of Chemistry Jean Chmielewski, designs peptides to do work where small molecules struggle: enter macrophages to kill intracellular pathogens, assemble into ordered biomaterials through metal-ligand chemistry, deliver folded protein cargo across cell membranes, and reach HIV reservoirs …

Arina Filatova
Undergraduate Student Researcher
Hackeng and Dijkgraaf Groups, Maastricht University
Arina Filatova is a BSc student in Chemical Biology at Maastricht University. Her fascination with biological macromolecules began early in her studies, when she first learned that a protein's three-dimensional structure dictates its function. This curiosity evolved into a central academic interest in how chemical structure governs biological activity...

Peptide Materials Gordon Research Conference
The Gordon Research Conferences has announced the third Peptide Materials Gordon Research Conference, GRC, to be held January 17–22, 2027, at Staybridge Suites Oxnard – River Ridge in Oxnard, California. Applications are due December 20, 2026.
Building on two previous meetings, the conference will highlight emerging directions at the intersection of science, engineering, and medicine, with sessions spanning peptide structure and assembly, computational and AI-guided design, advanced synthesis, delivery and detection, phase-separated materials, and energy and construction applications. A companion Gordon Research Seminar, GRS, will run concurrently for graduate students and early-career researchers. Both events require separate applications.
