October 22 to 25, 2015
Ramada Couran Cove Island Resort, South Stradbroke Island, Queensland, Australia

The symposium provides a superb opportunity for all practitioners of solid phase peptide synthesis together with those who use synthetic peptides for a myriad of applications to congregate at the beautiful Couran Cove Resort, South Stradbroke Island, a short ferry ride from the famed Gold Coast of Queensland to hear of and discuss the latest developments over two and a half relaxed and convivial days. Continued and exciting advances in all aspects of the science of solid phase peptide synthesis, ranging from solid supports, instrumentation, chemistries and protocols including native chemical ligation, have allowed the acquisition of ever more complex and large biological targets. These include small proteins, de novo designed peptides with purposely conferred structural properties, cyclic peptides, post-translationally modified peptides and peptide-oligonucleotide conjugates. Importantly, these advances that have allowed access to this diverse array of peptide products have enabled an impressive and dramatic increase in the chemical, biological and medical applications of peptides.

We are very much looking forward to meeting you at Couran Cove!
