A satellite event will take place alongside ChemBio 2026, offering a focused scientific programme on emerging strategies to address glioblastoma. Entitled Innovative Tools to Treat Glioblastoma, the event will be held on April 29 from 15:00 to 18:00 at the Aquarium Donostia-San Sebastián.

This session will bring together leading researchers working at the interface of nanomedicine, biomaterials, and cancer therapy, covering topics such as advanced therapeutic design, tumor microenvironment targeting, and next-generation drug delivery systems. The programme features invited contributions from internationally recognized institutions, including a presentation from POLYMAT, highlighting ongoing research efforts in the field.

Participation in the event is free of charge; however, registration is required due to limited capacity. This satellite meeting represents a valuable opportunity to engage with cutting-edge developments complementary to the main ChemBio 2026 programme, in a more focused and interactive setting.
