Following a nine-year legacy and a long-awaited hiatus, the Congress on Molecular and Cell Biology (CMCB) is making a triumphant return! The 10th Annual World Congress of Molecular & Cell Biology (CMCB 2026) is officially scheduled for November 11–13, 2026, in the vibrant city of Bangkok, Thailand.

We warmly invite global researchers, Principal Investigators (PIs), early-career scientists, corporate R&D executives, and industry decision-makers in molecular biology, cell biology, biomedicine, biotechnology, and related interdisciplinary fields to gather in Southeast Asia. Together, we will build a premier international platform to discuss cutting-edge frontiers, solve pressing scientific challenges, and uncover new opportunities for industry-academia-research collaboration.

As a highly influential annual international event in the field, CMCB has previously been successfully hosted in cities across the Asia-Pacific region, including Beijing, Dalian, Suzhou, Nanjing, Xi'an, Fukuoka, and Singapore. Over the years, it has witnessed countless scientific breakthroughs and the birth of transnational research collaborations. The congress has always been committed to bridging the gap between academia, research institutions, and industry, driving the translation of basic scientific research into industrial applications.

For the 10th edition in 2026, we have chosen Bangkok—a core metropolis in Southeast Asia situated on the Chao Phraya River delta. Blending modern urban vitality with profound cultural heritage and renowned hospitality, this welcoming city will provide an immersive academic exchange experience for attendees from around the globe.

The landscape of life sciences is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with continuous breakthroughs in novel cell therapies, gene technologies, innovative diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical development. As a foundational discipline, molecular and cell biology provides the core theoretical support for these biomedical innovations. Against this backdrop, CMCB 2026 is not merely a revival of the congress, but carries the vital mission of propelling the global advancement of molecular and cell biology.

The Organizing Committee is dedicated to showcasing the world’s most cutting-edge research technologies and their industrial applications. We are bringing together top-tier experts and key industry decision-makers to encourage deep, cross-disciplinary, cross-national, and cross-sector dialogues. Beyond facilitating intellectual collisions among researchers, this congress enjoys broad public support and embraces a science communication mission. We aim to deepen the public's understanding of modern biological sciences and drive the collective progress of life sciences and technology on both a regional and global scale.

Diverse Congress Programs: Covering Research, Exhibitions, and Industry Ecosystems
This year’s congress features a rich variety of formats, balancing academic reports, achievement showcases, industry seminars, and business matchmaking to meet the diverse needs of all attendees:

· Scientific Sessions: Multi-track parallel sessions featuring leading experts sharing original research. We will delve into unresolved key scientific issues regarding molecular mechanisms, fundamental cell biology, disease models, and biotech development, bringing you frontline global research insights.

· Poster Presentations: Open to researchers worldwide, this is a prime platform for young scholars and graduate students to showcase their work. It offers a unique opportunity for face-to-face communication with domestic and international experts, exchanging research ideas and expanding academic networks.

· Biotechnology Thematic Forums: Focusing on industry-academia-research translation, these forums will discuss critical topics such as biopharmaceutical R&D, separation sciences, systems biology, innovative drug discovery, and frontier biotech applications, linking basic research with industry to explore opportunities and challenges in technology implementation.

· Exhibition & Networking Area: A dedicated corporate exhibition zone where biotech companies, instrument/equipment manufacturers, and reagent/consumable suppliers can showcase their latest products and technical solutions. This space provides attendees with on-site demonstrations, technical consultations, and business negotiations to uncover commercial partnership opportunities.

Whether you aim to share academic insights, showcase research achievements, find collaborators, or connect with industry resources to expand your international business, CMCB 2026 offers a boundless stage for you.
