Continuing a Successful Series

IMAP 2020 is the 10th in a series of meetings building on the success of the previous meetings held in Utrecht, Netherlands (IMAP 2019), Edinburgh, UK (IMAP 2018), Copenhagen, Denmark (IMAP 2017), Leipzig, Germany (IMAP 2016), London, UK (IMAP 2015), Graz, Austria (IMAP 2014), London, UK (IMAP 2013) and Leipzig, Germany (IMAP 2012 and IMAP 2008).

Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) and Host Defence Peptides (HDPs)


The 10th International Meeting on Antimicrobial Peptides (IMAP 2020) will be hosted by the University of Trieste, Italy in August 2020.

The conference will cover both the antimicrobial activity of peptides as well as their role in regulation and modulation of the immune system.

Abstract submission is now open - visit the Programme & Abstracts page for more information.
