The 4th International Peptide Symposium was held
at The Cairns Convention Centre in far north
tropical Queensland from 21st to 25th October,
2007. The meeting, which had the overall theme
“Discovery to Drugs: The Peptide Pipeline” was
organised by the Australian Peptide Association
and Profs. John Wade (Howard Florey Institute)
and Ian Smith (Monash University) co-chaired the
meeting. There were over 420 delegates from all
parts of the world, with excellent support from the
Japanese, Korean, Chinese, US and European
peptide communities. In addition, three very
successful specialist satellite meetings were held
immediately prior to the Symposium. These
focussed on Advances in Solid Phase Peptide
Synthesis (Port Douglas, Chair John Wade),
Chemical Protein Synthesis and Ligation (Heron
Island, Chair, Paul Alewood) and Protein Misfolding
(Dunk Island, Chair Kevin Barnham). These satellite
meetings each attracted from 35 – 75 delegates.
