Single-Cell and Spatial Omics Take Center Stage at 2026–2027 International Conferences
核心洞察
The International Single Cell Mass Spectrometry (iSCMS) Conference and BMSS Single Cell MS Meeting will convene 6–9 October 2026 at King's College London, with abstract submission extended to 15 August 2026.
The meeting will showcase single-cell mass spectrometry advances across cancer, immunology, microbiology, neuroscience, metabolism, and precision medicine, featuring 11 internationally recognised invited speakers.
The Single Cell and Spatial Omics Symposium 2027 will take place on 11 March 2027 at Biomedicum Helsinki (搜索), jointly organized with the Doctoral Programme in Biomedicine (搜索) as part of the annual NASSA meeting.
Advances in single-cell and spatial omics are transforming researchers' ability to understand how individual cells influence disease outcomes, respond to treatment, and shape biological processes. Two upcoming international conferences—one in London in 2026 and one in Helsinki in 2027—will bring together the scientific community to showcase the latest developments in these rapidly evolving fields.
International Single Cell Mass Spectrometry Conference and BMSS Single Cell SIG Meeting 2026
Registration is now open for the Joint International Single Cell Mass Spectrometry (iSCMS) Conference and BMSS Single Cell MS Meeting, taking place 6–9 October 2026 at King's College London. The meeting will bring together researchers from across biology, chemistry, medicine, and technology to showcase how single-cell mass spectrometry is advancing research in cancer, immunology, microbiology, neuroscience, metabolism, and precision medicine.
The programme features internationally recognised experts developing cutting-edge analytical technologies and applying them to tackle important biological and clinical questions. Conference highlights include 11 internationally recognised invited speakers covering the latest advances in single-cell metabolomics, proteomics, spatial omics, imaging MS, and metallomics, as well as workshops showcasing state-of-the-art single-cell technologies, oral and poster presentations, and The Proteomics Podcast Live with Dr Benjamin Orsburn.
Researchers at every career stage are encouraged to present their work. Abstract submission has been extended to 15 August 2026, providing an opportunity to showcase research and build new collaborations. Organizers note that whether attendees are developing analytical technologies or applying them to answer fundamental biological questions, the meeting offers a chance to learn about the latest advances, exchange ideas across disciplines, and connect with the growing international single-cell mass spectrometry community.
Single Cell and Spatial Omics Symposium 2027
The Single Cell and Spatial Omics Symposium 2027 will take place on Thursday, 11 March 2027, at Lecture Hall 1, Biomedicum Helsinki (搜索), Finland. This year, the symposium is jointly organized with the Doctoral Programme in Biomedicine (搜索) (DPBM) and will be held as part of the annual NASSA meeting. The symposium is open to the entire scientific community upon registration, which is expected to open in January.
Confirmed speakers include Chris Tape (UCL, UK), Angela Goncalves (DKFZ, Germany), Mohammed (Mo) Lotfollahi (Sanger Institute, UK), and Livnat Jerby (Stanford University, US).
Advancing Cellular Heterogeneity Research
Both events underscore a shared scientific focus: single-cell and spatial omics are providing unprecedented insight into cellular heterogeneity in health and disease. By enabling researchers to interrogate individual cells rather than bulk populations, these technologies are opening new avenues for understanding treatment response and disease mechanisms across a broad spectrum of conditions, from oncology to neuroscience and precision medicine.
