International Mini-Symposium on Peptide Design and Functional Extension

A Satellite Meeting of the 60th Japanese Peptide Symposium

The Japanese Peptide Society (JPS) will hold its 60th Anniversary Symposium in Otsu, Japan this year. As a satellite symposium, we have organized an “International Mini-Symposium on Peptide Design and Functional Extension” with prominent overseas researchers participating in the 60th symposium and young and mid-career Japanese researchers as invited speakers. We are looking forward to your participation. Poster presentations will also be accepted.

Please note that pre-registration is required due to the limited number of seats (~50) available at the venue.
