The BioGENext conference 2026 is dedicated to advancing the field of next-generation therapies development. The event brings together researchers, educators, biotech companies, and industry experts to exchange knowledge and join forces to extablish strong biomedical research ecosystem in Ukraine.

The second BioGENext Conference will take place on October 6-9, 2026, in Kyiv, Ukraine. The program features leading international and Ukrainian speakers from academia and industry and focuses on key areas shaping modern medicine, including:

  • nucleic acid therapeutics
  • recombinant proteins
  • gene editing technologies
  • advanced cell therapy
  • computational biology and AI
  • molecular diagnostics
  • and other translational research.

Abstracts submitted by participants will undergo review by the Scientific Committee and will be published in the international peer-reviewed journal “Biopolymers and Cell.” Top abstract authors will have the opportunity to present orally during the main program or in a flash talk session.
