Automated Peptide Synthesis
In this sponsored content by Gyros Protein Technologies, discover how automated systems revolutionize peptide production with enhanced efficiency and reproducibility.
The evolution from manual to automated solid-phase peptide synthesis, SPPS, has transformed research workflows, significantly reducing human error while enabling walk-away operations and parallel processing capabilities.
Advanced features like microfluidic design, induction heating, and real-time UV monitoring create optimal conditions even for challenging sequences, substantially improving yield and purity. This article shows you how to harness these innovations for your peptide research needs.
The Nicola D'Amelio Lab
The D’Amelio Lab is part of the Enzyme and Cell Engineering Unit, UMR 7025 CNRS, with active sites at Université de Picardie Jules Verne, UPJV, in Amiens and Université de Technologie de Compiègne, UTC, in Compiègne, France. Co-directed by Professors Karsten Haupt, Bérangère Avalle, and Catherine Sarazin, the lab is led by Professor Nicola D’Amelio and is internationally recognized for its work in structural biology, biomedicine, and peptide engineering.
Professor D’Amelio’s team is at the forefront of peptide-based research targeting antimicrobial resistance, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease. Their ADAPTABLE platform—an interactive database of antimicrobial peptides—guides the rational design of therapeutic peptides, while ongoing projects explore peptide interference in cancer signaling, microbiome-based delivery systems, and blood-brain barrier-penetrating therapeutics for Alzheimer’s.

What Current Members Say

“I have been a member of APS since I was a graduate student because of the benefits and opportunities it provided scientists at that stage of my career. Through the years, I have continued to be a member so I can engage with the top researchers working in peptide science from around the globe.”
Marcos Pires
Associate Professor of Chemistry
University of Virginia

“APS provides a forum for connecting graduate students, postdocs and working professionals with each other based on shared professional skills and interests. When it comes time to look for their next position, APS members can count on a strong network of like-minded scientists who value their skills and accomplishments.”
Joshua Kritzer
Professor
Tufts University

"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."
