About C Bio-2026

The International Conference on Cell Biology – C-BIO 2026 will be held in Valencia, Spain, from December 2–4, 2026. This prestigious international forum is designed to convene leading scientists, clinicians, academicians, and industry innovators working at the forefront of cell biology and translational biomedical research.

C-BIO 2026 aims to foster high-level scientific exchange among distinguished experts in cell biology, immunology, molecular medicine, regenerative biology, stem cell research, and cell-based therapeutics. The conference will provide an interdisciplinary platform to discuss emerging discoveries, cutting-edge technologies, and transformative approaches that are redefining our understanding of cellular systems in health and disease.

The scientific program will encompass key thematic areas including Cell Signaling, Dynamics & Mechanobiology; Cellular Metabolism, Aging & Stress Responses; Experimental Models; Biomarkers to Monitor Disease; Interventional Therapeutic Approaches; and AI, Advanced Imaging & Cell Science Innovations. Together, these sessions are designed to integrate fundamental cellular research with translational and clinical advancements, fostering innovation in next-generation diagnostics, precision therapeutics, and regenerative medicine.

The conference places a strong emphasis on advancing fundamental and basic research in cell biology, fostering deeper mechanistic understanding of cellular structure, function, and signaling pathways that underpin human health and disease. By prioritizing foundational scientific inquiry, the meeting aims to strengthen the evidence base that drives translational innovation and future therapeutic breakthroughs.

We look forward to welcoming you at C-BIO 2026 in Spain!
