Since many years, the Belgian academic and industrial groups that are active in various aspects of peptide research did not have an opportunity to get to know each other and to discuss common interests. Together with Dr. Mimoun Ayoub of Solvay Peptisyntha, we have taken the initiative to organize a two day meeting on peptide research under the auspices of the European Peptide Society. This two day meeting will take place at the Solvay Peptisyntha site in Brussels. We will have four invited speakers from neighbouring countries, and plenty of opportunities for presentations by the participants.
This meeting intends to cover various aspects of peptide research : synthesis, identification, pharmacology, drug discovery and development, delivery, peptide production, ... etc.
The list of speakers from various institutions witnesses of the wide interest and guarantees an interesting meeting. This meeting will also be a great opportunity for PhD students and young scientists to learn about the many aspects of peptide research, and to discuss about peptide chemistry and biology with experienced researchers.
To facilitate participation, the registration fee has been limited to 50 € per person for the two days, including lunches and coffee breaks.
We are convinced that this meeting will stimulate fruitful discussions and will be an opportunity to have interesting new contacts. Your help will be crucial for making this initiative a success.
