Nanopeptide 2012: Peptides as Nanomaterials & Biomaterials

Nanopeptide 2012

This multidisciplinary conference, held under the auspices of the British Biophysical Society, Macro Group UK and Protein & Peptide Science Group of the RSC is being kindly supported by the EPS.

The keynote lecture will be given by Prof. David Kaplan, Tufts University who will talk about his work on self assembly and tissue engineering. The 2 ½ day conference will feature some of the world’s leading researchers in the field and their talks will address all aspects of the subject, from soft mater physics and materials science, through chemistry and biophysics to biomedical applications.

Subjects covered include:

  • Peptide bonds
  • Dipeptides
  • Peptide Design, Collagens & Coiled Coils
  • Peptide Biomaterials & Tissue Regeneration
  • Peptide Interactions with Materials & Nanomaterials
  • Peptide Nanostructures for Opto / Electronic Applications
  • Dynamic Peptide Systems & Self-assembly
  • Peptide Hydrogels
  • Peptide / Polymer Interactions
  • Peptide and protein scaffolds, nanoparticles
  • Peptide-based drug delivery systems
