Peptide Arrays 2013
September 3-4, 2013
Surgeons’ Hall
Edinburgh
UK
A two-day symposium held under the auspices of the European Peptide Society and the Protein & Peptide Science Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Building on the success of the first Peptide Arrays meeting in 2011, Peptide Arrays 2013 will bring together high calibre speakers from Europe and North America and cover peptide array technologies and their biomedical applications.
Subjects covered include:
- New methodologies for preparation of peptide arrays
- Applications of peptide arrays in study of:
Protein-protein and protein-peptide interactions
Post-translational modification and epigenetics
Drug discovery and delivery
Mapping the interactome - Reverse phase protein arrays (RPPA) as high throughput proteomics tools
- Peptide arrays for use in bioelectronic and bioengineering applications
Keynote Lecture:
Prof. Mark Bradley, School of Chemistry, University of Edinburgh.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Cheryl Arrowsmith, University of Toronto, Canada
- George Baillie, University of Glasgow
- Assaf Friedler, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel
