About the Event

The 11th iHuman Forum, organized by the iHuman Institute at ShanghaiTech University, will be held on November 6–7, 2026, at the ShanghaiTech University campus.


With the strong and continued support of ShanghaiTech University, the iHuman Forum has now been successfully held for ten years. It has grown into a globally recognized, high-impact academic platform in the fields of GPCR science and drug discovery. Each year, the forum attracts leading scholars, scientists, and biopharmaceutical professionals working at the forefront of membrane proteins, chemical biology, computational biology, and structural biology. Since 2024, the iHuman Forum has been included in the Pujiang Innovation Forum, further solidifying its role as a flagship annual academic event of ShanghaiTech University. Over the past decade, the iHuman Forum has become a premier academic event that integrates fundamental research, technological innovation, and translational applications, consistently contributing to interdisciplinary advances in life sciences and biomedical research.


This year's program features four focused sessions: Cell Signaling Mechanisms and Drug Discovery, In Situ Structural Biology, AI-Driven Computational Biology, and Rising Stars Forum: Emerging Frontiers in Life Sciences. The forum is designed to foster interdisciplinary dialogue across experimental biology, computational science, and clinical translation. We warmly welcome researchers, faculty, and industry professionals from universities, research institutes, and biopharmaceutical companies to join us in exploring the frontiers of life sciences and shaping the future of biomedical innovation.
