10th Peptoid Summit

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.

Date: August 10-11, 2017

Location:  Molecular Foundry, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA.

Registration: Registration is closed!  There is room for a limited number of walk-in registrations.  Please e-mail us asap to reserve your walk-in spot if you are interested.
