We would like to invite you to participate in the Iberian Peptide Meeting, EPI_2012, which will be held in Alicante, Spain, from February 1st to February 3rd, 2012.
This conference will bring together the most prestigious specialists in peptides and their applications, mainly of the Iberian Peninsula, but also from different European countries. The Iberian Peptide Meeting will attract Portuguese and Spanish researchers, from both the Academia and the Industry, that use or develop peptides and their derivatives in basic and applied research, from Chemistry and Biology, to Medicine and Biotechnology. This meeting will discuss recent advances in the study, synthesis and applications of peptides, peptidomimetics and its derivatives, both from natural and synthetic origin, implemented in all areas of knowledge, from technological research to biomedical, as well as pharmaceutics and cosmeceutics.

Among the various aspects to be addressed in the Iberian Peptide Meeting we can name: Peptides and nanomaterials, peptides as models for membrane proteins, pepducins in signaling and therapeutics, chemical library in-vivo screening, molecular dynamics of peptides, design of functional biomaterials, peptide-membrane interactions, therapeutic peptides, peptidomimetics design and function, cosmeceutical peptides, peptides in chemical biology, bioactive peptides / peptide microarrays, bioinorganic peptides, clinical use of peptides, glycodendrimers, application of NMR to peptides, dendrimers, foldamers and combinatorial synthesis, brain-penetrating peptides, new approaches to signaling, peptide chemistry, peptide prodrugs and much more.
The main goal of the Iberian Peptide Meeting is to maximize the opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss new advances with fellow scientists from all over the Iberian Peninsula in particular and Europe in general. We also aim to encourage the co-operation and interaction among the participants.
We will make every effort to organize a successful meeting, and we look forward to receiving you in Alicante. We have no doubt that the Iberian Peptide Meeting, EPI_2012, will be a great success.
