The next Virtual BPF Seminar, "Peptide Design: The Innies and Outies of Cellular Targeting", will be held Tuesday, June 3rd starting at 12:00 PM EDT (9:00 AM PDT). Join us for this webinar where science meets the surreal world of Severance! Just like the employees of Lumon Industries, we can design peptides to have dual roles, targeting both the "innies" (inside the cells) and the "outies" (outside the cells).
We will explore the fascinating realm of peptide design, where these molecular workers can be engineered to penetrate cells, ensuring they perform their duties with selective targeting unique to peptides. But that's not all—peptides can be designed to also have a mission outside the cells, navigating the extracellular environment to find and bind to specific cell types, delivering their therapeutic payloads.
In this panel discussion, we welcome two peptide enthusiasts to discuss their approach to and the future of peptide design. Tony Silvestri of Unnatural Products will discuss how his team approaches macrocycle drug design to optimize cellular penetration. We will also be joined by Andre Watson of Ligandal who harnesses the unique binding specificity of peptides to optimize nanoparticle drug delivery.
Join us for an engaging discussion and gain valuable insights into peptide design. Unlike the employees of Lumon Industries, you'll leave with your memory not only intact but enriched with new ideas on how peptides can be leveraged in drug development!
