WELCOME MESSAGE FROM CONFERENCE CHAIRS

WELCOME to Sydney Australia for the 16th International NanoMedicine Conference.

The annual International NanoMedicine Conference is regarded as the premier nanomedicine meeting in the Southern Hemisphere. This event attracts around 250 registrants with representation from academia, medical research institutes and biotech companies. More than half of the delegates are from interstate and international organisations.

2026 represents the 16th year of this renowned International NanoMedicine Conference. The Conference will be held from 22 – 24 June 2026 at Pier One Sydney Harbour located next to the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. This event is again brought to you by the UNSW Australian Centre for NanoMedicine (ACN). The main objective of the conference is to share novel research that may lead to prevention, diagnosis and/or treatment of some of the most challenging diseases, in an environment conducive to networking with colleagues from around the world.

On behalf of the Conference Organising Committee, we look forward to welcoming you to the Conference!
