PhysChemCell2026

Understanding complex biological phenomena requires advanced methods for observing, analyzing, and quantifying processes at the molecular scale. At the crossroads of chemistry, physics, and biology, these approaches provide essential insights into physiological and pathological mechanisms—from single cells to entire organisms.

PhysChemCell 2026 will bring together a vibrant interdisciplinary community dedicated to developing and applying innovative analytical and imaging techniques in complex biological environments. The conference theme, Illuminating Living Systems: Innovative Chemical and Physical Tools to Explore Biology, reflects this ambition to push the boundaries of how we study life.

Open to both early-career researchers and established scientists from biology, chemistry, and physics, the conference offers a dynamic platform to present and discuss your work through oral presentations and posters. Participants are invited to submit their abstracts via the dedicated submission section by October 1, 2026.

Our aim is to foster a stimulating environment that encourages exchange, collaboration, and the emergence of new scientific and technological advances within the community.
