PepCon-2009 is the 2nd annual protein and peptide conference of BIT Life Sciences. The conference will feature an outstanding experience both scientifically and socially. Also, the oriental culture makes Korea a fascinating and pleasant place to congregate with old colleagues and new friends to share the most important aspects of many exciting and rapid advances in peptide and protein researches. PepCon-2009 will cover the frontier protein sciences, proteomics, system biology, enable technologies such as protein chips, protein microarray, protein/peptides as therapeutics and diagnostics, peptide and protein drug discovery and development, peptide and protein expression or synthesis, protein design and engineering, and outsourcing R & D along with talent search. The conference will take the form of presentations, workshops, round table conferences, exhibitions and posters. It is our hope to provide an alternative exciting event in Asia Pacific Rim that updates the current trend and business model for the peptide and protein professionals. A crucial aspect of our never ending endeavors is to find solutions to difficult scientific problems, and our ultimate goal is to support translation of scientific discovery into application or therapeutics.
