CPS 2008 - 10th Chinese International Peptide Symposium (Xi’an, China)

Dear Participants:

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 10th Chinese International Peptide Symposium in Xi’an China.

This year's conference will draw attendance from leading incident and vulnerability handling professionals from all over the world. Participants representing industry, government policy makers, as well as academic scholars and researchers from the peptide science arena will present and discuss the latest topics in peptide science and peptide medicine.

Also, we have a great line-up of invited speakers.

This four-day conference is an excellent opportunity for you to meet with paticipants from all over the world, share the view of peptides, and create an opportunity for networking, collaboration, sharing of technical information and the building of trust relationships internationally.

China’s old capital for over one thousand years, Xi’an is located in the heart of fascinating west China, where you'll find a harmonious blend of culture, cuisine, arts and architecture along with excellent shopping opportunities.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Xi'an in July at what promises to be a most stimulating and enjoyable event!
