Testimonials
I am deeply interested in the emergence of the latest computational and machine learning approaches and how they complement more conventional library led approaches in peptide design. I believe the Peptide Therapeutics Summit represents an ideal event where these different themes are brought together.
Chris Brown, A*STAR
The next frontier in peptide therapeutics lies in designing molecules that go beyond target activity — peptides that are both functional and orally available. The Peptide-Based Therapeutics Summit provides an invaluable platform to connect experts across disciplines and showcase how AI and computational innovation are helping us make this vision a reality.
Alan Nafiev, Receptor AI
Emerging technologies are shaping the field of peptide drug conjugates (PDCs). Learnings in a small focused meeting setting will enhance my organizations efforts to contribute to the development of novel PDC therapeutics.
David White, ProteinQure
Having participated in this summit since its inception, I have seen it evolve and continue to evolve into one of the most essential events for the global peptide community. It brings together the full spectrum of peptide innovation, from AI-driven discovery to formulation and CMC, where science and strategy align to accelerate translation. Each year offers sharper insights, new partnerships, and a clearer view of how peptide research is transforming modern therapeutics. For anyone committed to advancing peptide drug development, this summit has become an indispensable touchpoint for the field.
