The Journal of Microscopy is pleased to announce a new special issue dedicated to the international conference NanoInBio 2026
Guest editors: Prof Mingdong Dong (FRMS) and Prof Kislon Voitchovsky (FRMS)
This special issue will gather under one umbrella contributions from the papers presented at the NanoInBio 2026 international conference that will be held 30 May – 5 June 2026 in Guadeloupe. NanoInBio 2026 will celebrate the ten-year anniversary of this biennial conference, and will be larger than the previous editions, including scores of internationally renowned speakers and their graduate students.
The purpose of the NanoInBio conference series is to showcase the use of nanoscience and technology in life sciences and in the medical context. As part of this, all forms of microscopies are always at the centre of the work discussed at the meeting. Here, this is exemplified by the invited speakers, who include; Simon Scheuring, Georg Fantner and Ricardo Garcia working at the cutting edge of atomic force microscopy, Tomaso Zambelli, Patrick Unwin and Paul Ashby developing nanoscale probes chemical and electrical probing of biointerfaces, Michelle Peckham, Dennis Disher and Peer Fischer working with advanced optical microscopy techniques and Tom Willhammar an expert in cryo- electron microscopy.
NanoInBio 2026 will support four broad themes, each underpinned or directly focused on microscopies: Bio- & Nanotechnology for health & environment, Bio- & Nanomaterials from labs to medical applications, The bio & non-bio interface, and Intrumentations for materials & life sciences.
The special issue would collect original contributions from the conference attendees, particularly encouraging ECRs and graduate students attending the school where they will be briefed in detail about the prospect of publishing in the Journal of Micrscopy. The aim is to create a broad issue covering multiple microscopy techniques in the contact of nano, bio and medical sciences.
Deadline: 31 August 2026
Papers should be submitted through Research Exchange platform. Please choose the paper type most suitable for your submission and choose “NanoInBio” as the special issue.
