"TIDES is an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge into the vastly expanding area of peptides and oligonucletides. Furthermore, it gives attendees an invaluable chance for networking and building relationships with other experts in the field." -Barry P. O'Connor, Ph.D., Research Scientist, R&D, Sekisui Medical Co., LTD., Japan

"The TIDES series of conferences is an indispensable catalyst for the industry to bring people together to share knowledge and address topics of common interest and ensure that we can help our business and the industry to grow and flourish. I meet clients and customers and educate myself enormously on projects that are running, products that are sold, huge potential for therapies to treat human diseases like cancer. I think we will be part of the breakthrough in taking human medicine that step further in treating complicated and difficult diseases that we have not been able to cure. I'm sure we are in the right therapeutic ingredient class that will play a great role in the future together with oligonucleotides. That's why I work in the peptide field. I like the combination of events…peptides and oligonucleotides: two nuclear generators of therapeutics for the future of diseases that have plagued mankind for our history. It's a special, special event. I always enjoy myself and find it incredibly enriching." - Lester Mills, Ph.D., MBA, Chief Marketing Officer, Bachem Holding AG, Switzerland
