2^nd Annual Peptides Congress 2015

 

Oxford Global Conferences are proud to announce the 2^nd Annual Peptides Congress, taking place on 20^th – 21^st April 2015 in London, UK. The conference provides an exclusive opportunity for over 350 experts working in peptides, proteins and biosimilars to exchange their experiences, engage in scientific discussions and network with senior-level attendees about the most pressing challenges of the industry.

 

Topic areas of the conference include:

 

Day 1 – Enabling Technologies for Peptide Screening, Synthesis and Modification

 

       ·  Promising methods to extend half-life peptide capabilities

       ·  Activating synthesis technologies: HLPC, mass spectrometry, microwave-assisted SPPS

       ·  Enhancing peptide stability through PEGylation, cyclization and amino acid incorporation

       ·  Updates in peptide self-assembly & macromolecular assembly

       ·  Advances in research involving high affinity binding peptides

       ·  Novel peptide applications for intracellular targets

       ·  Novel approaches for high-throughput screening

 

Day 2 – Peptide Case Studies: Discovery, Preclinical and Clinical Development, Therapeutic Applications Peptide Formulation and Delivery

 

       ·  Updates in preclinical discovery and clinical development

       ·  Innovative therapeutic applications for peptides

       ·  Latest advances and future perspectives in peptide delivery

       ·  Cell-penetrating peptides: opportunities, challenges and future directions

       ·  New strategies utilizing routes of administration for peptide formulation

       ·  Peptidomimetics: macrocyclic, polypeptides and bioactive peptides

Key speakers include:

       ·  Paul Feldman, Senior Vice President, GlaxoSmithKline delivering a presentation on enteroendocrine peptide drug discovery for the treatment of metabolic diseases
