PRESENTATION
The third edition of the Trans Mucus Network symposium will take place on November 26–27, 2026 in Paris, following successful meetings in Lille (2024) and Nice (2025). This event aims to bring together leading European scientists working on mucus and mucins in a unique transdisciplinary forum.
Initially focused on the French-speaking community, the symposium has expanded to a European scale. Its format encourages interaction, combining invited lectures, oral presentations and poster sessions, while actively promoting the participation of early-career researchers.
Its goal is to facilitate the emergence of national and international research projects and to connect academic teams with industrial partners, including biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, to support interdisciplinary initiatives.
