Introducing: The Next Big Thing in Science

For decades, Chem-Impex has supported peptide scientists behind the scenes. Today, we’re taking that legacy beyond the bench through our new program launch The Next Big Thing in Science.  

The Next Big Thing in Science is a 6-week cohort program that supports early-career peptide scientists tackling challenges through structured mentorship, industry exposure, and meaningful connections across biotech, academia, and pharma. We’re dedicating our time, network, and platform to help elevate their work and amplify their impact.

We’re proud to partner with leaders and sponsors across the peptide ecosystem to bring this inaugural cohort to life. Thank you to our program mentors Paul Bertin, Jayant Kulkarni, Mark Kwatia, Jane Liu, and Nick Bayhi and our partners Nucleate, Polypeptide Laboratories, the UChicago Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, the UChicago Science Incubator, and Quartzy.   

If you know a rising scientist in peptides, we’d love for you to share this opportunity!
Applications are now open.
