Welcome to
4 th International Symposium on Bioactive Peptides

We would like to extend our heartfelt greetings to you all from Japan.

During the last 30 years, knowledge and interest in the functions of food peptides has increased significantly. Under such circumstances, the first International Symposium on Bioactive Peptide (ISBP) was held in Hangzhou, China in 2017 organized by Professor Jianping Wu of University of Alberta, Canada, and was very well received. Due to this great success, it has been decided to continue holding the symposium every two years, and the second was held in Valencia, Spain in 2019 organized by Professor Fidel Toldrá of Instituto de Agroquimica y Tecnologia de Alimentos CSIC. It was suspended due to the SARS-CoV2 epidemic, but it was held again in Niagara in 2023 by Professor Jianping Wu and Professor Rotimi Aluko of University Manitoba. Both symposiums were also very well received, and many meaningful and in-depth discussions on bioactive peptides were held.

This symposium aims to provide a platform for academia and industry to exchange　ideas, share the latest knowledge and innovations on bioactive peptides, build networks between experts from academia, industry and government, and develop collaborations and partnerships.

Kyoto was the ancient capital of Japan, which lasted for over 1000 years, until more than 150 years ago. However, Kyoto was also the first city in Japan to be supplied with electricity and the first to be modernized. We are excited to discuss the health-promoting functions of peptides with you all in this land of history and innovation.

We look forward to seeing you all in Kyoto.
