“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.”

"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!"

"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."

“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.”
