Testimonials
This meeting presents an opportunity to get the thought leaders in the world of peptide therapeutics together to share the contributions they are making to our industry. I believe that others will benefit from hearing our story and how we advanced multiple peptides into the clinic over the past 5 years; and we will benefit from learning similar info from our peers.
Barry Kappel, Sapience Therapeutics
As we continue to unlock the potential of peptide therapeutics as a validated modality, it is invaluable to connect with the leading experts in the field to share our learnings and ensure our collective success in delivering these transformative therapies into the clinic and toward meaningful impact for patients.
Shelley Allen, Abbvie
I see the Summit as a force multiplier. Peptide therapeutics sit at a pivotal point—between small molecules and biologics. Participating enables us to accelerate translation by aligning on design rules, delivery strategies, and CMC best practices; stress-test our assumptions with peers and regulators; and forge the right partnerships across academia, biotech, and large pharma.
Maria Fawaz, Merck & Co
The Summit will be an excellent opportunity to hear from thought leaders about advances in peptide-based therapeutics, the increasing importance of this modality, and where the field is heading in the next few years.
David Earp, Circle Pharma
