In part 3 of Exploration Science From the Road, we get meeting highlights from two attendees of the joint French Group of Peptides and Proteins meeting and the Belgian Peptide Group meeting in Port Leucate, France. My guests are Dr. Christian Bhen from CEM Germany and Magdalena Verzbeetsska Wierzbicka, a graduate student from the University of Wroclaw.
