"My membership in the American Peptide Society and participation in the biennial APS Symposia has fostered scientific collaborations with trailblazing scientists from academia and industry, who are pushing the boundaries of peptide and protein chemistry into new scientific arenas. The strongly diverse, inclusive and welcoming aspects of the APS have and will continue to provide a great opportunity for the education and professional development of young peptide scientists from all over the world."
