We would like to follow up on an earlier e-mail from Thanksgiving 1998
time, and again call to your attention the 16th American Peptide Symposium
which will be held in Minneapolis from June 26-July 1, 1999. The "Call
for Papers & Registration Information" was already mailed to current
members of the American Peptide Society and should have been received by
now. ABSTRACTS WILL BE DUE JANUARY 31, 1999. Requests for information
should be sent via e-mail to 16aps@chem.umn.edu. In addition, please check
our web site at www.chem.umn.edu/16aps, which contains all of the
pertinent information and is now set up to accept both abstracts and
registrations electronically.
In setting as the theme for the meeting "Peptides for the New Millennium,"
we want to highlight how peptide science can play a role in fields as
diverse as synthetic chemistry, pharmaceutical discovery, biomaterials,
and proteomics, among the topics that will be featured. We believe that
there is considerable overlap between our topics and the interests of the
ABRF, and therefore we hope that you will consider attending and perhaps
submit one or more abstracts. Feel free to pass along your suggestions to
us, and also to spread the news about the Symposium to others in your
professional circle.
With thanks and best wishes for a Happy New Year!
GB and GF
