From Friday June 8th to Sunday June 10th are scheduled 7 sessions, with plenary lectures, key notes and oral presentations; and two poster sessions. The Murray Goodman young investigators' session is scheduled in the afternoon of Friday June 8th.
Main topics are:

• The structure of peptides and their interaction with biomolecules
• Peptide drug design
• Peptide for diagnostic and therapeutic applications
• Peptides in nanotechnology and nanomedicine
• Synthesis of peptides, proteins and related analogs

Contributions concerning experimental and theoretical aspects in these topics are encouraged.
