Welcome to SBS 2026

We are pleased to present the Singapore Bioscience Symposium (SBS) 2026, hosted by NTU’s School of Biological Sciences, co-organized with the Society for Cell Biology Singapore (SCBS), and supported by the IAS Conference Series. Anchored by the theme “Resolving Life from Atomic Structure to Cellular Function,” this year’s symposium will spotlight Structural and Cell Biology, exploring how structural insights and cellular organization are advancing an integrated understanding of biological systems across scales.

Bringing together leading researchers, early-career scientists, students, and industry partners, SBS 2026 will showcase how integrative approaches are redefining our understanding of life’s architecture, from macromolecular complexes to dynamic cellular states. Through cross-disciplinary dialogue, the symposium aims to inspire new ideas, catalyse collaborations, and highlight emerging directions at the interface of structural and cell biology.

The symposium will serve as an international platform for the exchange of cutting-edge discoveries in structural biology, cell biology, molecular bioscience, imaging, and related areas. By bridging atomic-level detail with cellular function, SBS 2026 aims to highlight how advances in these fields are shaping new directions in biological research, disease understanding, and biomedical innovation.

We warmly welcome researchers, academics, students, and industry professionals to join us at SBS 2026 for meaningful scientific exchange and collaboration.
