Join our Masterclass
Join us for the ECM Pharmacology Masterclass, a free hybrid event exploring the biology of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the growing role of ECM biomarkers in drug development.
Bringing together experts from academia and industry, the programme will provide a practical introduction to ECM biology and demonstrate how ECM remodeling and ECM biomarkers can support translational research, clinical trials, patient stratification, and regulatory decision-making.
Throughout the day, participants will move from the fundamentals of ECM biology to real-world applications across fibrosis, inflammation, cancer, and other chronic diseases. The masterclass aims to provide a clear understanding of the opportunities and challenges of integrating ECM-based approaches into modern drug development.
A look back at ECM2026
ECM2026 brought together a vibrant and engaged ECM community at a time of remarkable progress in the field. Across four days of inspiring science and discussion, participants showcased how ECM research continues to evolve from fundamental biological understanding to therapeutic innovation.
The congress highlighted the critical role of the extracellular matrix across a wide range of diseases and underscored the importance of continued collaboration to address unmet medical needs. With fibrogenesis linked to approximately 40% of deaths in the Western world and still underrepresented in therapeutic development, the need for innovation has never been greater.
Thank you for being a part of ECM2026 and we hope to see you in 2028! Until then, you can look forward to our webinars or watch the previous sessions.
