We are delighted to announce the 11th Modern Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis & Its Applications Symposium will take place from Thursday 14th to Saturday 16th October 2027, at the Cairns Harbourside Hotel, Cairns, Australia. This meeting will immediately precede the Australian Peptide Conference, being held from 17–21 October 2027 at the Oaks Port Douglas Resort, Port Douglas, Australia, just over a one hour drive from Cairns.

This symposium will showcase exciting advancements across all aspects of solid phase peptide synthesis, including innovations in solid supports, instrumentation, chemistries, and protocols. These breakthroughs enable the synthesis of increasingly complex and large biological targets.

The 11th ‘Solid Phase’ Symposium offers an excellent opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and collaborators. The stunning venue will foster dynamic discussions, networking, and the exchange of ideas. This event will encourage robust interaction between academic and commercial participants, often leading to fruitful collaborations and productive networks. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Solid supports (resins), protecting groups, and synthesis strategies

• Peptide libraries, arrays, and combinatorial chemistry

• Peptidomimetics and cyclic peptides

• Cell- and BBB-penetrating peptides

• Installation of post-translational modifications

• Challenges in “difficult sequences”

• Industrial-scale synthesis and commercialization

• Native chemical ligation and chip-based technologies

• Peptide-drug and peptide-PNA conjugates

• Peptide therapies and peptide delivery technologies

We look forward to welcoming you to Cairns for an engaging and memorable event.
