Dear Colleagues,

We kindly invite you to participate in the 24th Polish Peptide Symposium which will be held in Jastrzębia Góra near Gdańsk, Poland, September 3-7, 2017.

The Symposium is devoted to different areas of peptide science including the biology and chemistry of peptides and proteins. We would like to pay particular attention to peptides as a tools in drug discovery.

The conference will be held within the following sections:

  • Synthetic chemistry of peptides and amino acids
  • Structure and conformational studies of peptides
  • Peptide biochemistry and biology
  • Peptide ligands, receptors and signaling
  • Peptides and peptidomimetics in biomedicinal research
  • Peptide-protein or protein-protein interactions
  • Self-assembly of peptides

The meeting has a very special character because it is organized on the 50th anniversary of the first meeting of Polish scientists working in the field of peptides. To celebrate this anniversary, the historical session devoted to the history of the development of the peptide science in Poland will be held.
