International Conference on Hydrogenase and Other Redox Metalloenzymes 2026
We are delighted to announce that the 14th edition of the International Conference on Hydrogenase and Other Redox Metalloenzymes (ICH2026) will take place at the University of Leicester (UK) from 26 to 30 July 2026. We cannot wait to welcome you in Leicester for a week of exciting research on metalloenzymes!
ICH2026 will cover all aspects of fundamental and applied research, from computational modelling to biomimetic complexes, artificial metalloenzymes, metabolism, cutting edge experimental developments, and more. We aim to encompass the broadest possible range of metalloenzyme systems, and the organising committee have put together an exciting programme of plenary and invited speakers that will be supplemented by selected additional oral presentations and extensive poster opportunities.
