This is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research. The event aims to explore the molecular science and engineering of materials based on peptides and their derivatives and mimics, including both fundamental research in peptide design, synthesis, assembly, molecular conjugation, micellization, gelation, coacervation, phase behavior, and diverse technological applications such as functional materials for energy storage, catalysis, drug delivery, imaging, regenerative medicine, adhesion, protein purification, and biomineralization as well as structural materials such as high performance fibers, 2-D materials, and hierarchical 3D materials.
