About
Peptide Science in the AI and Translational Era
Conference philosophy
Each day of IPS 2027 opens with a common plenary session, moves into parallel scientific tracks before and after lunch, and closes with a joint session of major lectures, posters, awards, and networking — balancing broad community engagement with deep scientific specialization.
The four pillars
Discover
The foundational science: peptide chemistry, synthesis, chemical biology, and structural biology that underpins everything else in the field.
Design
Where computation meets chemistry: AI-driven peptide design, computational biology, and peptide engineering are reshaping how new molecules are conceived.
Develop
Turning designed molecules into candidates: therapeutic peptides, drug delivery systems, and biomaterials research that bridges lab and clinic.
Deliver
The translational endgame: manufacturing at scale, regulatory pathways, and commercialization — including India’s growing role as a peptide manufacturing hub.
Flagship: Amyloid Mini-Symposium
A dedicated half-day mini-symposium in two linked sessions:
- Session 1 — Amyloid Peptides & Protein Misfolding: tau, α-synuclein, Aβ, IAPP, functional amyloids, and aggregation mechanisms.
- Session 2 — Targeting Protein Aggregation: peptide inhibitors, nanobodies, molecular glues, targeted degradation, AI-guided design, and diagnostics.
