Building on the success of previous editions, we are delighted to announce that the 6th International Symposium on Frontiers in Molecular Science: Trends in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ISFMS2027), organized by the MDPI open access journal International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS, ISSN: 1422-0067, IF: 5.6), will be held in Barcelona, Spain, from 14 to 17 September 2027.
ISFMS2027 will convene leading scientists, emerging researchers, and industry pioneers to explore ten cutting-edge themes—from protein structure and enzyme mechanisms to AI-driven drug discovery and precision medicine. The symposium will serve as a dynamic platform for interdisciplinary exchange, bridging fundamental discoveries in genetics, genomics, and molecular biology with translational applications in cancer immunotherapy, neurodegenerative disease research, and molecular nutrition. By fostering collaborative dialogue between academia, industry, and clinical practice, ISFMS2027 aims to promote the translation from molecular insights to innovative diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.
Key areas of focus for this conference include, but are not limited to, the following:
S1. Protein Structure and Dynamics;
S2. Enzymes;
S3. Molecular & Cellular Mechanisms of Disease (Cancer, Autophagy, Immunity);
S4. Genetics, Genomics, Epigenetics, and Gene Regulation (including ncRNA);
S5. Biomarkers, Molecular Diagnostics, and Precision Medicine;
S6. Drug Discovery, Design, and Molecular Therapeutics;
S7. Bioactive Compounds, Nutraceuticals, and Molecular Nutrition;
S8. Multi-Omics and Systems Biology Approaches;
S9. Artificial Intelligence and Computational Molecular Science;
S10. Biochemical Basis of Neurodegenerative Diseases.
We look forward to welcoming you to Barcelona for this inspiring gathering, where you will have the opportunity to present your latest discoveries in protein science, disease mechanisms, or computational molecular research.

Meet Our Speakers
Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain;
Jean-Didier Maréchal is a computational chemist expert in multi-scale molecular modelling of biochemical systems. He graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris (1997) and performed a dual Ph.D. between Paris Sud (France) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (2002). After post-doctoral positions in the UK (University of Leicester and Manchester) and France (Orsay), he moved back to Barcelona, where he is now a Full professor in Physical chemistry. His research combines protein-ligand dockings, classical molecular dynamics, quantum mechanics as well as software developed in his group. Applications focus on biotechnology and biomedicine with emphasis on biometallic constructs (e.g. Metallodrugs, metalloenzymes).
University of Perugia, Italy;
Giulia Menculini, MD, PhD, is Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Perugia, Italy, where she also directs the Postgraduate School of Specialization in Psychiatry. She graduated in Medicine and Surgery cum laude from the University of Perugia and completed her specialization in Psychiatry with honors, followed by a PhD in Neuroscience. She undertook a research attachment at the Bipolar Disorders Unit, Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, Spain. Her research focuses on the psychopathology of mood and psychotic disorders, the psychiatric manifestations of central nervous system diseases, and environmental and digital determinants of mental health, with particular attention to adolescents and young adults. She is the author of more than 150 peer-reviewed publications and several book chapters, and serves as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Psychiatry (Mood Disorders section) and as a reviewer for numerous international journals. She was awarded the EPA Research Prize 2023 for the best paper published in European Psychiatry.
Barcelona
Barcelona is the capital and largest city of Catalonia and is Spain's second-largest city, with a population of over one and a half million people.
Located on the northeastern Mediterranean coast of Spain, this city has a rich and diverse history, with its roots dating back to Roman times. The fruitful medieval period established Barcelona's position as the economic and political center of the Western Mediterranean. The city's Gothic Quarter bears witness to the splendor enjoyed by the city from the 13th to the 15th centuries.
The 20th century ushered in widespread urban renewal throughout Barcelona, culminating in its landmark Eixample district, which showcases some of Barcelona's most distinctive Catalan art-nouveau, or modernista, buildings. The Catalan Antoni Gaudí, one of the most eminent architects, designed buildings such as La Pedrera, the Casa Batlló, and the Sagrada Família church, which have become world-famous landmarks.
In 1992, Barcelona gained international recognition by hosting the Olympic games, which brought about a massive upturn in its tourism industry. For visitors, this has translated into the very modern yet incredibly old city you see now in the 21st century, where new elements work to both preserve and celebrate the city’s heritage and origins.
Barcelona has plenty of outdoor markets, restaurants, shops, museums, and churches. The city is also very walkable, with an extensive and reliable Metro system for more far-flung destinations.
