Overview: The Peptoid Summit is a friendly gathering of students, post-docs, research scientists and PI’s investigating new directions in bio-inspired polymer research. The meeting is open to anyone interested in the topic, and we welcome participation from people at all levels of training as well as from industry, academia or government labs. Peptoids are a highly designable polymer system, allowing unprecedented control over 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!
We invite you to join us for three days of presentations and discussions on the latest in peptoid and bio-inspired polymer research. As we have for many years, we will convene to share results, conceive new ideas and engage in collaborative discussions.
Conference Program: Download the Summit Agenda here! We had a full program consisting of 36 plenary talks, 2 Keynote addresses, 41 poster presentations, 20 lightning round talks, community discussions, 6 in-depth interviews with peptoid entrepreneurs and more! Even though the conference was virtual, we had a vibrant group of over 200 registrants, spanning an impressive diversity of topics. All presentations were recorded and will be live until August 2023. There is still time to register and peruse all the material.
Fun stuff: Commemorative 11th Peptoid Summit frisbees (175g Ultra-Star Ultimate Discs) were handed out at our traditional BBQ and frisbee-fest, and will be sent to all participants. Frisbees still available for a limited time!
Join us and participate! The peptoid community encourages researchers of all levels, from industry, academia or national labs, or from any country, to join us and share their peptoid-related work at the Summit. We are very excited to hear what you are up to – even if it is a work in progress – and to give you an opportunity to participate in a lively exchange with other active researchers. Register now!
