The 49th Annual Meeting of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan and the 99th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Biochemical Society will be held jointly as BMB2026 from December 1 to 4, 2026, at PACIFICO Yokohama.

This joint meeting between the two societies follows BMB2015 and ConBio2017. Both societies have a long and distinguished history, each leading the life science field in Japan from their respective perspectives. We believe that the opportunity for these two societies to come together offers a unique platform for new discoveries and creativity.

For BMB2026, we aim to preserve the distinct identities of both societies while transcending their boundaries under the unifying theme of “Resonance.” We envision a conference where researchers from diverse fields can resonate with and inspire one another. In addition to regular symposia, poster presentation, science-pitch, and oral sessions, the program will feature the BMB2026 Special Symposium by distinguished scientists as well as three thematic BMB2026 Symposia.

This time, we will also collaborate with the Biophysical Society of Japan, and we are planning a range of new initiatives, such as public lectures that promote engagement with society and programs that support the careers of young researchers.

We believe BMB2026 will provide a valuable opportunity to broaden perspectives and reflect on the significance and future of your research. We hope to create an exciting space where participants can say, “There’s something new to discover here.”

We welcome your feedback and suggestions for BMB2026. Updates and information will be provided regularly through the official website and social media.

We sincerely look forward to welcoming many of you to BMB2026.
