5th Öresund Peptide Symposium

On September 24th, the Öresund Peptide Symposium is returning for its 5th edition with highlights and insights from the peptide community.

This year’s symposium is focusing on one of the hot topics of today’s pharmaceutical industry research – peptides and macrocycles in drug discovery – with experiences from both early and late stages of the drug development process. With contributions from market-leading companies and individuals from industry and academia we bring a highly valuable event to you.

Academic presentations will be held by keynote speaker Prof. Jan Kihlberg from Uppsala University (Sweden) and Prof. Fernando Albericio from the University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa). Leading companies such as Zealand Pharma, AstraZeneca, Gubra, Camurus, and others will contribute with valuable industry insights and real-world experiences.
