Welcome to the Australian Peptide Association!

The APA’s driving goal is to support and promote Australian peptide science in conjunction with showcasing the latest technologies in the field, drug discovery and development.

We organise and run biennial international scientific conferences, satellites and support local state meetings. Our meetings are designed to be in the fashion of the relaxed Gordon conference – with about 200 delegates and with a friendly and a highly participatory atmosphere. We also have a strong commitment to our early career researchers and students.

Our program is unique in that it is designed to include a blend of delegates with backgrounds in either peptide chemistry, analytical technologies and interesting biological systems. This lends itself to the best cross fertilization of ideas and initiation of collaborative efforts.

Our next meeting will be held at Hotel Grand Chancellor, Launceston, Tasmania in October 2025.
