Welcome to the American Peptide Society
The American Peptide Society is a nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to advancing the chemistry and biology of peptides. Our community traces its roots to the first American Peptide Symposium, held at Yale in 1968, and across more than half a century since, we have grown into an international society that brings together academic, industrial, and clinical researchers at every career stage.
