2015 Dutch Peptide Symposium

May 27th, 2015
Radboud University
Nijmegen, The Netherlands

The annual Dutch Peptide Symposium provides a unique opportunity for academic and industrial researchers working in the fields of peptide-, protein-, and amino acid chemistry to meet and exchange ideas, insights, and expertise. The 2015 edition of the Dutch Peptide Symposium will be held in Nijmegen on May 27.

2nd NovAliX Conference Biophysics in Drug Discovery 2015

June 9th - 12th, 2015
Palais Universitaire
Strasbourg, France

The use of biophysical techniques in drug discovery is rapidly increasing, and many pharmaceutical companies have set up in-house biophysical platforms to speed up the target-to-candidate process and improve the quality of small-molecule therapeutics through a better understanding of their interactions with their targets.

The 2nd NovAliX Conference Biophysics in Drug Discovery 2015 intends to further develop the synergy between biophysics and medicinal chemistry, which is key to deliver better drugs on a shorter timeline.

12th German Peptide Symposium

March 18th-21st, 2015
Technische Universität Darmstadt
Darmstadt, Germany

The 12th German Peptide Symposium 2015 will take place at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, Department of Chemistry, in Darmstadt, March 18 - 21, 2015.

The meeting covers all fields of peptide science  ranging from peptide and protein synthesis, peptide structure to the application of peptides and peptidomimetics in medicine and material sciences.

4-Methylbenzhydryl-Resins - the Better Wang-Resin alternative

Wang resins are widely used for peptide synthesis. However, certain side reactions, like diketopiperazin formation limit their use. 4-Methylbenzhydryl resin needs more space and leaves less room for this type of side reactions. Standard “Wang-typical” Fmoc/tBu coupling protocols can be applied.

New: Cysteine-Pseudoproline

Pseudoprolines derived from Serine and Threonine have developed to standard building blocks for peptide synthesis since their invention. Now this technology is also available with Cysteine residues, as the corresponding 2,4-dimethoxyphenyl-pseudothiaproline is compatible with standard Fmoc/tBu protocols.

Amino Aldehydes

Aldehydes are between alcohols and carboxylic acids with respect to their oxidation level and show specific reactivity. Therefore they are highly interesting building blocks and intermediates for a large number of very interesting classes of reactions and compounds such as Wittig reaction, formation of secondary alcohols, heterocycles and semiaminals to name only a few.

Bio-Europe Spring 2015

March 9th-11th, 2015
Porte de Versailles, Conference Center
Expo Paris, France

As the springtime counterpart to BIO-Europe, BIO-Europe Spring^® continues the tradition of providing life science companies with high caliber partnering opportunities. Featuring EBD Group’s acclaimed partnering system, partneringONE^®, the event enables delegates to efficiently identify, meet and get partnerships started with companies across the biotech value chain.

In addition to productive partnering, BIO-Europe Spring offers high level workshops, panels, company presentations, and a lively exhibition. The program features executive level panelists who openly share their insight and opinion on many important industry issues. The company presentation tracks provide a forum for innovative start-ups, established biotech companies, and large and midsize pharma to present information on products, partnering opportunities and corporate strategy.

Combined, these elements create an insightful and productive event that will have you coming back year after year.

BIO-Europe Spring is produced by EBD Group, the leading partnering firm for the global biotechnology industry, with the support of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO).
