Two sessions, “Peptide Discovery” and “Development of therapeutic Peptides”, are foreseen for the Peptide Therapeutics Forum. The first parts provides an introduction into the various methods of finding peptide leads including display selection of large libraries, screening of particular natural product collections, and the design of cyclic peptides. The afternoon session is dedicated to more advanced peptide drugs including the field of type II diabetes, oncology and issues related to delivery.
