The 17th Conference on Protein Expression in Animal Cells

It is with great enthusiasm that the organizing committee is preparing the scientific and social programs for our upcoming 17th PEACe conference which will be held from September 14-18, 2025, in the lively city of Montréal, Canada. 

 
About PEACe 

The first scientific recombinant protein expression workshop that eventually gave birth to the PEACe conference was held in 1992 and created a before-then inexistent space for researchers from academia, industry and governing bodies with an interest in the field to meet. Since then, 16 meetings have been held biennially around the world. 

The 17th PEACe conference aims to continue this 33-year-old tradition of gathering academic and industry scientists and students in a collegial environment to promote knowledge exchange on the latest developments related to recombinant protein expression in animal cells. 

 
Highlighted themes in 2025
  • Expression systems
  • Cell engineering
  • Multispecifics and protein engineering
  • Product quality
  • Therapeutic viral and non-viral particles
  • Omics, AI tools and intensification 
 
Keynote speakers

Why Montréal? 

Montréal is known for being a world leader in artificial intelligence, one of the top student cities in the world, and for having a vibrant arts and culture scene. The locals’ openness and ability to welcome visitors have propelled Montréal to its current position of international host city, where almost 90 festivals and over 100 international conferences are held annually. 

 

We look forward meeting you in Montreal in September 2025 for this exciting 17th edition!
