In 2003, Wang lab established the Antimicrobial Peptide Database (https://aps.unmc.edu). This year marks its 20 anniversary. This founding database is well recognized and widely utilzied in research and education (24 million webhits and over 5000 total citations). To further promote research and education, Dr. Wang is organing a special symposium on October 6, 2023 in Omaha. He has invited two collegues (Dr. Charles Bevins, UC Davis and Dr. Monique van Hoek, George Mason University) to co-chair this symposium with him. The support of the University made it possible to have a hybrid event since chairs and kkeynote speakers will be flied to Omaha. The symposium will be held on the campus of the University of Nebraska. We will also have a poster session to be held virtually. As the Associate editor of Pharmaceuticals, I want to collaborate with the journal by hosting the poster session virtually using Sciforum.
