• Beihang Yu (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory): "Using sequence-defined polypeptoids to understand chain conformation effects in block copolymer self-assembly"
• Erin Tsai (Louisiana State University): "Unraveling the role of charge patterning in the micellar structure of sequence defined amphiphilic peptoid oligomers by molecular dynamics simulations"
• Hamish Swanson (The University of Strathclyde): "Minimal peptoid self-assembly: a computational rationale"
• Josefine Eilsø Nielsen (Stanford University/Roskilde University): "Self-assembly of antimicrobial peptoids impacts their biological effects on ESKAPE bacterial pathogens"
• Fabiana Cordella (Università di Pisa): "A proline mimetic for the design of new stablesecondary structures"
• Carolynn Davern (North Carolina State University): "Submonomer synthesis of peptoids containing trans-inducing N-imino and N-alkylamino-glycine monomers"
• Nicki Frederiksen (University of Copenhagen): "Peptide–peptoid hybrid oligomers as potential antibiotics"
