We are thrilled to extend our warmest welcome and sincere gratitude to all the participants to The 2nd International Symposium on Chemical and Biomedical Imaging (CBMI-II). The CBMI-II will take place on May 27-29, 2026 in Hong Kong, SAR, China, which is co-organized by the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology (ABCT) at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and ACS Publications.

CBMI symposium series, a biennial event began since 2024 by the ACS journal Chemical & Biomedical Imaging & ACS Publications, aims to boost the scientific and industrial communication among global investigators, covering advancements in molecular imaging, molecular probe & contrast agent development, chemical biology labeling, single-molecule & super-resolution imaging, single particle & interface imaging, biomedical imaging in clinics, innovations in imaging instrumentation, AI-assisted imaging and disease diagnosis.

The theme of 2026 CBMI-II is “Frontier Chemical Biology & Molecular Theranostics”. This three-day offline event will include plenary, keynote,  invited lectures and student speakers, as well as forum discussions and poster sessions. Besides meeting like-minded scientists in molecular imaging, we will also extend to you our warm hospitality in Hong Kong, such a beautiful global financial hub and world-leading research cluster.

The symposium organizing committee anticipate that this symposium will provide an ideal environment for exchange of diverse opinions, ideas, and philosophies. We wish all the participants can appreciate the opportunity to network and form lasting connections with your peers as you embark on new research endeavors.
