Meeting Scope
On behalf of the Executive Board of the French Group of Peptides and Proteins (GFPP), we are pleased to announce that the GFPP25 Meeting on Peptides and Proteins will take place from June 13 to 17, 2027, on the island of Oléron, on the French Atlantic coast.
The meeting will be hosted at the CAES CNRS La Vieille Perrotine center, in a unique setting conducive to scientific exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration. It will bring together approximately 150 participants, including chemists, biologists, and researchers from both academia and industry, working at the interface of peptide and protein science.
The scientific program will feature contributions from internationally recognised scientists, alongside oral presentations highlighting the work of early-career researchers. Particular emphasis will be placed on providing opportunities for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to present their work, exchange ideas, and develop collaborations within the peptide and protein research community. In addition, approximately 20 grants will be awarded to students to enable them to attend the meeting free of charge, fostering the participation of the next generation of scientists.
The scientific programme will cover a broad range of topics in the field of peptides and proteins, including:
- Peptides of natural origin
- Foldamers
- Peptidomimetics
- Metallopeptides, metalloenzymes and bioinspired catalysis
- Non-canonical amino acids
- Probes and fluorescent probes for imaging
- Structural biology
- Drug discovery
- Cell-penetrating peptides
- Antimicrobial peptides
- Biomaterials
- Vectorisation and delivery strategies
- Synthetic methodologies
- Chemical biology and bioconjugation
- Self-assembly and supramolecular architectures
Through its interdisciplinary programme and strong commitment to supporting early-career researchers, the GFPP25 meeting aims to foster scientific exchange, encourage new collaborations, and strengthen the French and international peptide and protein research communities
