Welcome

The joint ABCD–SIBBM National Ph.D. Meeting 2026 is a three-day event that will take place in Ferrara — a city rich in history and science.

This unique meeting brings together Ph.D. students from across Italy who work in cellular, molecular, and developmental biology. It’s an opportunity to share your work, exchange ideas, and connect with peers and experts in a friendly and stimulating environment.

As in previous editions, both the keynote speakers and the oral presentations will be selected and organized by a committee of four Ph.D. students, ensuring a meeting shaped by and for young scientists.

Why join?

• Exchange ideas and experiences with researchers in the life sciences.
• Receive constructive feedback on your ongoing or planned research.
• Engage in open scientific discussion with experienced investigators.
• Present your work during the poster session and grow your network.

Whether you’re a Ph.D. student eager to share your science or a group leader looking to meet future collaborators (and perhaps your next postdoc!), this meeting is the place to be.

Save the dates and join us in Ferrara!

We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring and collaborative experience.
