The 10th Chinese International Peptide Symposium (CPS-2008), hosted by Tsinghua University and Northwestern Polytechnical University, was held at Xi’an, China, July 1?5, 2008 with more than 200 participants. The four-day conference was both intense and spiritually rewarding. Our goal for CPS-2008 was to provide a forum for the exchange of knowledge, cooperation and friendship between the international and Chinese scientific communities in peptide sciences……
