ISTRY 2026 – Exploring the Frontiers of Tryptophan Research

The International Society for Tryptophan Research (ISTRY) invites you to the 17th ISTRY Meeting, which will take place in Padova, Italy, from June 10–12, 2026.
This biennial event will gather world-leading experts, researchers, and clinicians to share cutting-edge discoveries on tryptophan metabolism and its impact on health and disease. ISTRY 2026 will serve as a vibrant forum for interdisciplinary dialogue, spanning molecular mechanisms to clinical translation. Participants will have the opportunity to explore how tryptophan and its metabolites shape brain function, immunity, metabolism, and aging, and how these pathways can be harnessed through analytical innovations, medicinal chemistry, and biotechnological applications to develop novel therapeutic strategies.

Why Attend ISTRY 2026?

  • Engage with leaders in the field presenting the latest advances in basic, translational, and clinical tryptophan research.
  • Discover emerging topics in neuropsychiatry, neurodegeneration, immunometabolism, cancer, microbiome science, analytical and medicinal chemistry, and aging.
  • Present your own research. Share your novel findings in tryptophan research through oral or poster presentations and receive feedback from an international community of experts.
  • Network with scientists worldwide in an inspiring environment that fosters collaboration and innovation.
  • Experience Padova, the birthplace of ISTRY, a historic hub of science and culture, and the perfect setting to shape the future of tryptophan research.
