TEMTIA12

Building on the momentum of our 11th meeting in Seattle, we invite you to join the EMT International Association for TEMTIA12 in the vibrant city of Taipei on November 13–16, 2026. With the theme ‘New Frontiers in EMT Research’, this conference will push the boundaries of our understanding of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition across diverse biological scales. Following the success of our 2024 themes—which explored cutting-edge microscopy, multi-modal data integration, and the complex modeling of state changes—the Taipei meeting will continue to bridge the gap between foundational science and therapeutic application. Whether you are interested in cell mechanics, mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET), or novel imaging techniques, TEMTIA 12 offers an unparalleled platform for collaboration, featuring high-impact scientific sessions, interactive poster presentations, and the prestigious Betty Hay Award for emerging female scientists. We look forward to welcoming you to Taipei as together we work to chart the next frontier in EMT research.
