Peptide Postdocs

Recognizing postdoctoral researchers advancing peptide science.

Danielle Morgan

Postdoctoral Research Fellow
MacMillan Group, Princeton University

Danielle Morgan had just submitted her Ph.D. thesis at the University of Glasgow when she boarded a flight to Whistler for the 27th American Peptide Symposium in June 2022. The airline lost her luggage. With a flash talk scheduled for the first morning, she dashed to local shops and found …

Student Spotlight

Highlighting outstanding graduate students shaping the future of peptide science.

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...

Svetlana Mojsov Awarded 2026 King Faisal Prize

Svetlana Mojsov Awarded 2026 King Faisal Prize

APS member Svetlana Mojsov, a biochemist at The Rockefeller University, has received the 2026 King Faisal Prize in Medicine for the foundational chemistry that made today's GLP-1 therapies possible. Her work in the 1970s and 1980s at Rockefeller and Massachusetts General Hospital identified the biologically active form of glucagon-like peptide-1 and laid the groundwork for blockbuster metabolic medicines including Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus. Presented in Riyadh on April 15, the prize joins a recent cascade of honors recognizing her long-overdue place in the GLP-1 story.

GLP-1 Medicines Expand Into New Disease Territory

GLP-1 Medicines Expand Into New Disease Territory

APS member Richard DiMarchi, Distinguished Professor at Indiana University and pioneer of GLP-1 multiagonist chemistry, is prominently featured in a major New York Times opinion essay on the expanding therapeutic frontier of GLP-1 medicines. The piece explores how a drug class originally developed for diabetes is now being used, and studied, for conditions ranging from traumatic brain injury to addiction to autoimmune disease.

Peptide Materials Gordon Research Conference

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.
