That’s a wrap! Huge thanks to our speakers, poster presenters, attendees, sponsors, organisers, @andrecobb.bsky.social, @anbismillah.bsky.social, @kingsnmes.bsky.social, EPSRC @ukri.org
See you at the next #Foldamers meeting in 2027 in Budapest at HUN-REN Research Centre for Natural Sciences
Bravo ! 👏👏
Definitely planning to attend - Looking forward to reconnecting with the foldamer community in London !
Great to see our paper on helicity-dependent peptide cyclizations online at the Journal of Peptide Science doi.org/10.1002/psc.... (open access)
Congrats to all authors!! #peptidomimetics
Really enjoyed the Korean BBQ with colleagues and friends Prof. Hee-Seung Lee from KAIST and Prof. Sung Hyun Yoo from Chonnam National University yesterday after a full day at the KCS meeting. Great food and great company!
Excited to join 2025 Korean Chemical Society 135th General Meeting &Exhibition this week! Always a pleasure to catch up with colleagues and reconnect with lab alumni. Thank you, Sung Hyun @yoo-bios-lab.bsky.social for the fantastic welcome in Korea — truly appreciated!
