✦ Synopsis
he co-chairs of the sixth Peptide Engineering Meeting, PEM6, would like to invite you to Atlanta, Georgia for an international workshop addressing structure-based approaches to peptide design, peptide-protein interactions, peptide-membrane interactions, peptide bioactivity, and peptide-based materials. The theme of this years meeting is Learning from Nature to Engineer Peptides.
The PEM series was established in 1997 by Professors Susumu Yoshikawa, Kyoto University, and Claudio Toniolo, University of Padova. These special meetings are held every three years with a rotation system among American, Asian, and European countries. Each meeting in the series is designed to present cutting-edge advancements in peptide science from leading international speakers, and have young scientists and students as major participants. The PEM series serves as a superb vehicle to foster international collaboration and exchange of ideas, and exposure of trainees to new opportunities outside their own countries. From a tour of venues that include the cities of Osaka, Capri, Boston, Yokohama, and Barcelona, the meeting comes next year to the United States to grace the beautiful city of Atlanta, Georgia.
An international program committee composed of C. Toniolo (Italy), E. Giralt (Spain), J. Clayden (England), K. Mihara (Japan), M. Nomizu (Japan), S. Futaki (Japan), J. Schneider (USA), D. Lynn (USA), and L. Gierasch (USA) has assembled a program that covers a number of themes in peptide science ranging from chemical biology to protein folding, from materials science to enzymology and more.
