title: PepTalk--CHI's Ninth Annual Meeting--Engineering Protein & Peptide Therapeutics: Peptides.
abstract: The PepTalk conference, held in San Diego, included topics covering new developments in the field of protein and peptide therapeutics. This conference report highlights selected presentations on peptidic tumor-targeting agents, phylomer libraries for identifying potent peptides, li-Key-modified peptides, identifying binding sequences for antibody replacement molecules, sequencing non-ribosomal peptides, addressing the siRNA delivery problem, non-invasive systemic peptide delivery and cyclic antimicrobial peptide therapeutics for onychomycosis.
