Dear colleagues,
It is a great pleasure to welcome you all to the 13th International Conference on High Pressure Bioscience and Biotechnology (HPBB) that will take place at the University of Aveiro, in the wonderful and picturesque city of Aveiro, Portugal, from 31st of August to 03rd of September 2026.
The HPBB conference has been a meeting point connecting researchers working across Food Science, Biosciences and Biotechnology related to High Pressure, united by a shared interest in the effects and applications of this increasingly interesting Food and Life variable. We hope that the 13th HPBB continues this tradition, providing an enrichment and friendly environment for the exchange of ideas to promote research and discussion of emerging topics and Biotechnological applications involving High Pressure and Food and Life.
The High Pressure Bioscience and Biotechnology (HPBB) Conference is an international scientific meeting focused on research and applications of High Pressure technologies in in Food and Biosciences, with emphasis in Biotechnological applications. It is organized by the International Association of High Pressure Bioscience and Biotechnology, established in 1998, and held every two-years in different countries, bringing together researchers, professionals, students and industry scientists working with high pressure.
The 13th edition of the HPBB Conference will be held at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, from 31st of August to 03rd of September 2026.
The HPBB Conference is interdisciplinary, and the scientific areas included fall into a wide variety of topics, as follows:
Food Science under High Pressure
Food safety, shelf-life extension, quality, processing, and effects on food structure, texture, nutrients, bioactive compounds, and homogenization
Structure, Dynamics and Function of Biomacromolecules under High Pressure
Biophysics of proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, lipids and membranes, membraneless organelles/structures
Cells and Organisms and Biotechnology Applications under High Pressure
Physiology & metabolism effects and modulation, stress response, genetic regulation & genomics, extremophiles, and extreme conditions on other worlds.
