Welcome!

The Biological Nanostructures Facility at the Molecular Foundry presents

 

Cyclic Nspe polymer inspired by: L. Guo, Peptide Science, 96, 596 (2011).

The Peptoid Summit is a friendly gathering of students, post-docs, and PI’s investigating new directions in bio-inspired polymer research.  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.
