As part of the 2024 edition of the Peptide Therapeutics Forum 2024, that took place at Biozentrum Basel, the SCS also offered the opportunity for students to present a contributed talk and honored the best contributions with the ‘Helvetica’ Best Contributed Talk Award and the Best Poster Presentation Award sponsored by Chemistry Europe. Dr. Richard Smith, Executive Editor of Helvetica and Dr. Yuzhu Song, Deputy Editor of ChemMedChem and Chemistry & Biodiversity handed over the certificates:
Best Contributed Talk:
Winner: Alexander John Lander, University of Basel
«Development of a Leech-Inspired Bivalent Peptide to Inhibit Complement-Initiating Proteases»
«Peptide Hypervalent Iodine Conjugates: Enabling Peptide Functionalizationand Macrocyclization»
Runner-up: Kevin Schiefelbein, University of Zurich
«Exploring the Chemical Space of Lasso Peptides by Merging Flow Synthesis and Enzymatic Transformation»
«High-throughput synthesis and screening of mixture of cyclic peptides»
«Development of a self-optimizing platform for flow-based peptide synthesis»
Additional information and impressions of the event are available on the website of the symposium on ptf24.scg.ch
Thanks to Helvetica Chimica Acta and Chemistry Europe for sponsoring the event and for supporting the Award Program.
