About our COST Action

The COST Action SNOOPY will bring together a network of experts and young researchers from diverse disciplines - chemistry, biology, biochemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, medicine, physics - to overcome existing barriers to predict and implement bioactive peptides’ ability to self-assemble into functional nanostructures.

Why It Matters

Peptide-based nanostructures offer promising solutions for drug delivery, biomaterials, and disease treatment. By fostering collaboration between different scientific fields, SNOOPY will drive innovation and accelerate the translation of fundamental discoveries into real-world applications.

Join the Network

Whether you’re an experienced researcher or a young scientist eager to contribute, COST Action SNOOPY provides a collaborative and international platform for knowledge exchange, cutting-edge research, and interdisciplinary advancements.
