Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the 9^th Symposium of the French Network on Monocytes and Macrophages (SoMM 2026) will take place in Toulouse on November 3rd, 2026.

This special edition marks 10 years since the first meeting initiated by the Club Macrophage de Toulouse (CMT). It will bring together researchers working on monocytes and macrophages across diverse fields, including inflammation, infection, metabolism, and cancer. The program will include four keynote lectures and numerous selected abstracts, with a strong emphasis on discussions and interactions within the community.

This one-day symposium aims to provide a stimulating and supportive platform for young scientists (PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career investigators) while fostering scientific exchange, constructive feedback, and knowledge sharing through oral communications and poster presentations.

In summary, why participate?

Attend keynote lectures delivered by internationally recognized scientists (see preliminary program), offering comprehensive insights and a broad perspective on macrophage biology.
Present your work to a focused scientific audience
Exchange with colleagues from across France
Gain visibility in a compact, one-day meeting format

We particularly encourage PhD students and postdoctoral fellows to submit an abstract and take part in the scientific program.

We look forward to welcoming you to Toulouse for this anniversary edition.

Best regards,
SoMM2026 Organizing Committee
