PhysChemCell conference is back for another edition from November 16 to 18, 2026 in Université Paris-Saclay. During this event, participants will explore novel approaches at the crossroads of chemistry, physics and biology to study living systems, from single cells to entire organisms.

PhysChemCell is open to researchers, students and more widely scientists working at the interface of physics, chemistry and biology.

If you are interested, the registration is open until October 31, 2026. Participants can also apply to present an oral presentation or a poster, until October 1, 2026.

Scientific topics include

• New chemical probes, labelling and activation strategies compatible with living systems
• Biosensors and nanosensors: from design to imaging applications
• Label-free chemical analysis and imaging
• Multiscale observation of biological samples, from the nano/molecular scale to in vivo and real-time imaging

Plenary speakers

• Stéphanie Descroix – Institut Curie, Paris
• María García-Parajo – ICFO, Barcelona
• YongKeun (Paul) Park – KAIST, Daejeon
• Oliver Thorn-Seshold – Dresden University of Technology
