Gordon Research Conference — Antimicrobial Peptides

This conference will focus on the expanding repertoire of antimicrobial host defence peptides, their biological functions, and translational applications. The conference will feature a wide range of topics to highlight the complexity of mechanisms that control the production of these peptides, structure-to-function associations, and the extensive range of biological activity in human, animal and other model systems. Success of translational research requires a comprehensive appreciation of the extensive range of structures, functions and applications of the thousands of antimicrobial host defence peptides discovered to date. Accordingly, the various themes included in this conference will span from discovery to commercialization.

Topics: Antimicrobial Host Defence Peptides: Diverse Functions, Mechanisms and Applications
