65th International Conference on the Bioscience of Lipids / 21st GERLI international lipid meeting
From Medicine and Pharmacy to Physical Chemistry and Plant Sciences
The ICBL (International Conference on the Bioscience of Lipids) and GERLI (Group of Studies and Research on Lipids, France) are joining forces to organize a conference on lipid science entitled ‘Lipids In All States’, September 21st to 24th, 2026. The conference will be held in Bordeaux and will cover several topics ranging from chemistry to biology and medicine of lipids. It is expected to bring together more than 200 attendees from all continents. This highly anticipated event in the lipid biosciences community will bring together leading researchers to discuss the latest advancements in the biology of lipids from all organisms and models.
A large diversity of topics will be covered including Membrane Lipids, Algae & Plant Lipids, Lipid Nutrition & Health, Lipids & Brain, Biopolymers & Lipids, Biodiversity of Lipids & hot topics, Lipids for Medicine & Pharmacy, and Lipids & Technology. Last minute hot topics in lipid sciences will also be included from the submitted abstracts! Furthermore, the meeting will start in the afternoon of Monday september 21st with a workshop on Imaging techniques for lipids and membranes, followed by two Opening Lectures:
At the end of her lecture, Dr. Clotilde THERY will receive the first Polonovski Medal awarded by the GERLI.
As always, GERLI is keen to promote young scientists, therefore the meeting will be an opportunity for short-talk and poster awards, and the awardees of the GERLI 2026 PhD thesis awards will present their work in a dedicated session.
The meeting will take place from Monday September 21rst to Thursday September 24th 2024 at the the Agora du Haut-Carré, which also hosts the University of Bordeaux Headquarters. The venue is a former convent, built in the 1950s, in the town of Talence located 15 min from Bordeaux historical center. While lectures will take place in the former Chapel, the posters will be exposed in the cloister!!
Regular registration for the event includes access to all scientific sessions including the imaging workshop, coffee breaks and lunches, welcome reception, conference gala dinner and social event. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, collaborate, and advance lipid research! We encourage abstract submission as soon as possible to secure your spot.
In line with our commitment to sustainable development, we will make every effort to ensure the congress incorporates digital aspects, sustainable catering, and low carbon transportation. We eagerly await your participation and look forward to welcoming you in Bordeaux!
