Despite the challenges that initially stymied their development as drugs, peptides have demonstrated to be effective in biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and vaccines. Their rapid growth in the global drug market over recent decades has prompted demand for highly efficient synthetic methods of peptide synthesis targeting biological applications. This presentation will cover strategies to design physiochemically robust peptides using microwave-assisted solid phase peptide synthesis. Applications to be covered include backbone modification and various secondary structural enhancements to improve peptide stability as therapeutic molecules.
