Leuven, Belgium
Dear Colleagues,
Mark your calendars! We’re excited to invite you to ncRNA2026—From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Impact, taking place from 24–26 June 2026 in Leuven, Belgium.
Organized by MDPI and the open access ncRNA journal, this in-person event continues the tradition of highly focused scientific meetings dedicated entirely to non-coding RNA research. We’re eager to reunite the global RNA community for a vibrant exchange of ideas, discoveries, and collaborations.
Why You Should Join
Non-coding RNAs are central to modern biology—from molecular regulation to translational and clinical applications. ncRNA2026 will feature a rich scientific program that highlights fundamental insights, technological breakthroughs, and clinical impact across the field.
Conference Topics
The meeting will include invited talks from leading experts and thematic sessions on topics such as:
- Technological Advances in ncRNA Research;
- Clinical and Therapeutic Applications;
- Emerging ncRNA Classes & Mechanisms;
- AI-Driven ncRNA Discovery and Analysis;
- ncRNA Functions in Non-Human Systems (Plants, Bacteria).
Abstract Submission Now Open!
Want to present your latest research? We’re accepting submissions for both oral presentations and poster presentations. Abstracts (typically ~150–300 words) are due 24 February 2026, with notifications of acceptance around 24 March 2026.
