SBBq 2026

Dear Colleagues, It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in a unique joint scientific meeting bringing together the Brazilian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SBBq), the South American chapter of the Society for Redox Biology and Medicine (SfRBM), and the Inter-American Photochemical Society (IAPS). This interdisciplinary event will be held from May 16 to 19, 2026, at the Hotel Majestic in Águas de Lindóia, São Paulo, Brazil. The meeting is designed to foster deep scientific exchange across the broad areas of biochemistry, redox biology, photochemistry, molecular and cellular biology. By uniting these three scientific communities with strong insertion in the region, the meeting will create a vibrant environment for cross-disciplinary dialogue, highlighting how molecular biological mechanisms, redox processes, and photochemical approaches intersect to shape biological function, disease, and innovation. The program will feature exciting plenary lectures by leading international scientists, thematic symposia, poster sessions, and ample opportunities for discussion and networking. Águas de Lindóia offers a welcoming and protected setting, long associated with major scientific gatherings in Brazil, with excellent infrastructure for scientific exchange, while allowing participants to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere conducive to collaboration. We warmly encourage researchers at all career stages to join us for this exceptional meeting, and are confident that the scientific quality, interdisciplinary scope, and collaborative spirit of this event will make it a memorable and impactful experience. We look forward to welcoming you in Brazil! Alicia J. Kowaltowski SBBq President Pedro de Oliveira SBBq Vice-President Andres Trostchansky co-chair of the SfRBM Redox Symposium Francisco R.M.
