American Peptide Symposia
The American Peptide Society hosts a biennial meeting to discuss recent advances in peptide science, including the synthesis, structure, function, and application of this class of molecules as probes, therapeutics, and biomaterials, to name a few. Symposia locations are chosen by the chairs of each meeting with the intent of providing a venue that fosters scientific interactions amongst participants.
Outstanding lectures and posters are accented by vendor exhibits that showcase the latest in peptide technology. Symposia are graciously supported by our industrial partners who are integral to the success of each meeting. Meeting participants are invited to publish in the Symposium Proceedings, which are shown below along with the location and names of the Chair/s whose hard work is acknowledged and lauded.
