Conference Description
The Enzymes, Coenzymes and Metabolic Pathways GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes an array of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
The 2026 meeting will highlight recent innovations that expand the chemical and functional space of enzymes, including advances in de novo enzyme design and the incorporation of artificial amino acids to enable novel catalytic functions. The program reflects a growing convergence of enzymology, synthetic biology, and chemical biology, with broad implications for understanding and engineering biological catalysis.
The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. The conference chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by March 28, 2026. Please check back for updates.
