9th Peptoid Summit

August, 6th - 7th, 2015
Molecular Foundry, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Berkeley, CA, USA

The Peptoid Summit is a friendly gathering of students, post-docs, and PI’s investigating new directions in bio-inspired polymer research.  Peptoids are a highly designable polymer system, allowing unprecedented control over the their exact chemical structure.  This is leading to advances in a wide range of fields, from biomedicine to materials science.  Our community is growing and we welcome new investigators.  Come join the discussion and help plan the future of this exciting field!  The Molecular Foundry at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is proud to host this event.

We have four exciting sessions lined up that will cover the chemistry, biology, computational and nanoscience aspects of peptoids. There is a distinguished international group of speakers, and a nice mix of student, post-doc and PI presenters. New for this Summit will be a Lightning Round session, where there will be an open mic, and any attendee can present anything they want for 3 minutes. It will be a great way to learn more about what our colleagues are up to.  There will also be a poster session complete with refreshments, and a nice catered dinner will also be provided (included in your registration) on Thursday evening.  We encourage you to stay Friday afternoon for the Summit BBQ where scientific discussions can continue.

Iris Biotech GmbH will participate at the 9th Peptoid Summit in Berkeley and we would be glad to meet you there.
