Welcome

We are pleased to announce that the next meeting of the French Peptides and Proteins Group will be held in Amboise (Région Centre-Val-de-Loire), from Sunday 12th to Thursday 16th May 2019, in the beautiful and historic Loire valley area.

Note that 2019 will be the 41th anniversary of the creation of the GFPP and also the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo Da Vinci, who spent his last years in Amboise, in the Chateau du Clos-Lucé, located a few kilometers away from the conference center.

We have gathered a rich program of plenary speakers, spanning cutting-edge themes in the peptide and protein science field.

A large part of the program will be dedicated to oral communications from young scientists. As usual, around 20 grants will be attributed to young investigators to cover their registration fees.

The official language of the congress is English. For any enquiry, please contact us.

Looking forward to seeing you in Amboise !
