9th 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 6-7, 2015

Technical program: 9th Peptoid Summit Agenda is posted here.

Fun stuff:  There will be a dinner on Thursday evening (August 6th) following the poster session.  Tours of the Molecular Foundry will be available.  There will also be a BBQ picnic on Friday afternoon at a local park, where the collaborative discussions can continue!  Here is a link to the 9th Peptoid Summit poster!

Registration: Registration is closed!  However, we do have a limited number of walk-in registration spots available.  If you would like to join us, please e-mail Ron to get added to the walk-in registration list.

Registration fee: $150 ($85 for students).
