Peptide Therapeutics Forum 2024

Welcome to the website of the Peptide Therapeutics Forum 2024, which took place on August 22-23, 2024 at the Biozentrum Basel. Similar to previous events in the framework of Basel Life, presentations highlighted important new insights regarding the drug discovery of peptides including examples for successful development candidates. The forum disseminates information on latest news in the broad field of therapeutic peptides and enables networking of interested parties from academia and industries.
