Planetary change is transforming ecosystems, oceans and global biogeochemical cycles. Yet the biological responses to environmental stress begin at a much smaller scale: the cell.
Cells are the first responders to environmental change, regulating how organisms adapt, interact with symbiotic partners, and survive shifting conditions. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for explaining how life responds to planetary change.
Integrating Scales in Planetary Biology 2026 tackles this challenge directly. The conference convenes leading researchers, infrastructure providers, funders, policy-makers and private sector stakeholders to translate molecular insights into actionable environmental strategies, advancing our understanding of life’s resilience on a changing Earth.
