When and where is Cell Bio 2026?
Cell Bio 2026 (ASCB | EMBO Meeting) runs December 12–15, 2026, at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA.
What are the Cell Bio 2026 exhibit hall hours?
The exhibit hall is open Sun, Dec 13, 9:30am–4:00pm; Mon, Dec 14, 9:30am–4:00pm; Tue, Dec 15, 9:30am–4:00pm.
How do I register for Cell Bio 2026?
Fees and registration are on the organizer's registration page.
What is Cell Bio 2026?
Cell Bio 2026, the joint annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) and EMBO, held December 12–15, 2026 at the San Diego Convention Center. It is the yearly meeting of cell biologists — principal investigators, postdocs, students and imaging core staff — and its exhibit hall gathers the microscopy, reagent, cell culture and instrument companies and the journals that serve them.
What is in this guide?
Every organization exhibiting at Cell Bio 2026 so far: 112 exhibitors with their booth numbers from the public floor plan — 112 organizations in one list, each typed and tagged with up to three focus areas, and a short description for 112.
When is the exhibit hall open?
The organizer lists the exhibit hall’s show hours as Sunday, Dec 13, 9:30am–4pm; Monday, Dec 14, 9:30am–4pm; Tuesday, Dec 15, 9:30am–4pm (Pacific time), in its own Expo Hall Schedule.
Where is the program?
ASCB publishes its full scientific program — sessions, talks and posters — in its online meeting app, which was not yet live when this guide was built. This guide lists who is exhibiting, from the public exhibit floor plan; we’ll add the program when it is published.
Where does this list come from?
The organizer’s own public exhibit floor plan and the profile each exhibitor published on it — address, website, product categories and a company description. 78 of the 112 exhibitor listings had published a description and 89 a list of product categories; where an exhibitor published none, the short description is condensed from its own website or states what is well established about it. Nothing here requires a login.
How are organizations typed?
By what each organization makes or does for cell biology research: microscopy and imaging companies, instrument makers, reagent and antibody suppliers, cell and culture-system suppliers, research services, publishers and journals — then the societies, research institutes and agencies. The focus tags (at most three each) are judged from each exhibitor’s own profile and website.
How current is it?
Pulled from the public floor plan on October 16, 2026. Exhibitors keep signing up until the meeting, so the list will grow.
Why are there no names?
This guide is about which organizations are in the room, not which people. It never publishes a person’s name.
