Advances in peptide and protein researches are occurring at an ever increasing pace, in a wide range of fields and scientific disciplines. At this exciting time, it is especially important to promote scientific and technological exchange and cooperation at the international level.

To establish of a new educational and networking platform for protein and peptide sciences for international academic and industrial institutions and professionals in the area, PepCon Committee has assembled an exciting scientific program, PepCon-2008, of local and international invited speakers, covering the areas of cutting edge peptide and protein researches. More than 500 participants are expected, including 300 scientists from academic, industrial and government research institutions, 100 best local and international academic and medical research institutions as well as 80 world-famous bio-pharmaceutical and instrumentation industries. The conference will be held in Shenzhen, China on April 22-24, 2008 and will take the form of lectures, workshops, round table conferences and posters around the theme of Peptide & Protein Technology: From Concept to Market .

The Track will be tailored around:

Track I: Human Proteome Technologies- Deciphering Genome with powerful tools of Proteomics

Track II: Protein/Peptide Biomarker Discoveries-Essential Pathway to Seek Specific Solutions

Track III: Protein /Peptide Drug Discovery - Build up New Product Pipeline for Severe Diseases

Track IV: Solutions to Antibodies/Vaccines- Off-shore Operation Opportunities

Track V: Bioprocesses for Industrial Proteins-Riding on the Third Wave

Part VI: Renaissance of Peptide Market-Cost-Effective for Success
