The 9th International Symposium on Antimicrobial Peptides will be held November 18–20 in Besançon, France.
In the face of the alarming rise in infections caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens, the scientific community is being challenged to rethink strategies for combating infectious diseases. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), naturally present in most living organisms, represent a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics and open new avenues for innovative therapeutic approaches.
The 9th International Symposium on Antimicrobial Peptides is part of this global effort, bringing together leading international experts to explore major advances in AMP research, spanning a wide range of topics from peptide discovery and engineering, including artificial intelligence based approaches, to applications in human and veterinary medicine, as well as environmental sciences. The conference will be held in eastern France, the birth place of Louis Pasteur, a pioneer of modern microbiology. A special visit to the Louis Pasteur House in Arbois will be organized for all participants.
Join us in Besançon for three days of scientific exchange, innovation, and collaboration in an inspiring historical setting.
