PDF application with IMSC abstract + cost estimate.
Dates: August 22 – 28, 2026
Location: Lyon, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France
Research match: Strong match to the MS half of Wishart's analytical program — MS-based metabolomics, CFM-ID spectral prediction, and the spectral-library curation behind HMDB and NP-MRD. IMSC 2026 tracks span fundamentals and instrumentation, life sciences and health, chemistry and materials, environment and energy, plus grand challenges, and the meeting accommodates well over 1,500 participants. The environment/energy track connects to his environmental metabolomics work. Note this is a biennial conference: IMSC 2026 in Lyon is followed by the next IMSC in 2028, so there is NO 2027 edition.
