The conference aims to welcome academic and industrial researchers worldwide, as well as young researchers and students. It aims to provide opportunities for engagement, networking, and peer-to-peer learning. The Tregear Award for outstanding research in the field of peptide chemistry and biology and underpinning technologies by the Australian Peptide Association will be presented at the event. The International Peptide Symposium will be held in conjunction with the 15th Australian Peptide Conference.
