16th American Peptide Symposium
Minneapolis Convention Center
1301 Second Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55403-2781

Symposium participants will receive a "Program and Abstracts" book when they check in at the on-site registration desk, which will be open from 11:00 a.m. - 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 26, 1999, from 7:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 27, 1999, and at later times in the week. The aforementioned book will contain the detailed scientific program and abstracts for each of the oral presentations (summarized further below on this web page) and poster presentations (a complete list will be posted approximately May 24, 1999). Presenting authors only are listed, but a searchable index is now available listing coauthors. All lectures have L numbers, in parentheses after the title, and in the separate list of poster presentations, P numbers are provided. Young Investigators' MiniSymposium lectures are all also presented as posters, and hence the P number is given. In addition, several speakers have elected to present posters corresponding to their lectures and/or refer Symposium participants to relevant poster presentations by their coworkers, as is indicated in the following. For general information about the Symposium, return to the home page.


Posters will be set up on Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning, and will be available for unattended review throughout the week in Exhibit Hall I. Formal poster sessions with the presenter(s) available for discussion will be conducted on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday, 4:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Link to: Times for poster viewing, exhibitions, and staffing of the registration/information desk.
