in drug discovery applications. According to Dr. Ede, “Synthesising peptides on the solid-phase using parallel robotics systems allows us to produce cleaner peptides that are easier to dissolve and therefore easier to use than those derived from resin-based systems. The Mimotopes platform also allows large numbers of peptides to be produced very quickly – tens of thousands can be synthesised in a matter of weeks. We hope that by making large peptide sets affordable and available very quickly, we will be able to further stimulate development of new vaccines and peptide-based therapeutics.”

About Mimotopes - “The Peptide Company”
Established in 1989, Mimotopes Pty Ltd is one of the original peptide companies and the founder of peptide library technology. With its main production facility in Melbourne (Australia) and a new peptide R&D innovation centre near Shanghai (China), Mimotopes' patented synthesis processes, high-quality production facilities and experienced staff have made it one of the leading research-grade peptide companies in the world.

Peptides are fragments of proteins that play an important role in modulating many physiological processes and therefore have excellent potential as research tools and therapeutic agents. Peptides have a number of advantages over traditional drugs, including low toxicity and immunogenicity, excellent specificity and high potency. They now represent one of the most active areas of research and development in the drug discovery industry.
