Welcome to Kisspeptin 2026!

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am delighted to invite you to the 5th World Conference of Kisspeptin (Kisspeptin 2026), which will be held from July 23 to 25, 2026, at the Noyori Conference Hall, Nagoya University, in Nagoya, Japan. This conference will be held as a satellite meeting of the International Congress of Neuroendocrinology (ICN 2026), also taking place in Nagoya.

Following the great success of the previous Kisspeptin conferences — Córdoba (2008), Tokyo (2012), Orlando (2017), and Glasgow (2022) — Kisspeptin 2026 will once again bring together scientists from around the world who share a passion for understanding the biology and clinical significance of kisspeptin and its related systems.
The meeting will highlight the latest breakthroughs in reproductive neuroendocrinology and explore the diverse physiological and pathophysiological roles of kisspeptin, from reproduction to metabolism, emotion, and disease.

In addition to invited lectures by leading experts, Kisspeptin 2026 will provide valuable opportunities for trainees and early-career researchers to present their work through oral and poster sessions, fostering lively discussions and new collaborations in this rapidly developing field.

Nagoya, located in the heart of Japan, offers a wonderful setting to connect science and culture. We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful campus and to sharing stimulating science, meaningful conversations, and warm Japanese hospitality.

We are excited to see you all in Nagoya for Kisspeptin 2026!

With warm regards,
Hiroko Tsukamura, Ph.D.
