About

The 2026 Annual Proteomics Symposium, organized by the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), University Pompeu Fabra (UPF), and the Catalan Society of Biology (SCB) will take place on November 6 2026, at the PRBB Auditorium. The meeting will showcase the latest advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and their applications in biomedical research.

The event will bring together leading experts in the field, as well as early-career researchers, providing a unique forum to discuss emerging technologies, methodological developments, and biological discoveries. In addition to the invited talks, participants will have the opportunity to present their work through abstract submissions, with a selection of abstracts being invited for short oral presentations.

A key feature of the Symposium will be the emphasis on interaction and networking with discussions, informal exchanges, fostering collaborations and encouraging scientific dialogue among participants from diverse backgrounds and career stages.
