Press program The press program will be announced soon. Press releases, tip sheets, and other materials for news media will be available in the Global Physics Summit press kit ahead of the meeting. A press room will be available for those attending in person. Breakfast, snacks, refreshments, and lunch will be served Monday through Thursday. Breakfast will be available on Friday.

Hybrid format The Global Physics Summit will have both in-person and online experiences. The in-person meeting will be held at two adjacent venues: the Colorado Convention Center and the Hyatt Regency Denver. In-person offerings include scientific sessions, exhibits, networking events, receptions, and more. In-person registration (excluding daily registration) also includes access to the online meeting.

The virtual meeting, concurrent with the in-person meeting, will include select livestreamed sessions and virtual-only sessions — including satellite site events, ePoster sessions, and online networking opportunities.

Select content from the scientific sessions at the in-person meeting will be available for on-demand viewing for both in-person and virtual attendees (excluding daily registrants) for 90 days after the meeting. Recordings will be on the virtual platform within 14 business days of the conclusion of the meeting.

Tooling up to diagnose ocean health

2026-02-05

Tooling up to diagnose ocean health Field-deployable CRISPR-based biosensing platform could enable facile, real-time monitoring of marine barometer species and ecosystems By Benjamin Boettner (BOSTON) — Oceanic ecosystems are increasingly threatened by global warming which causes coral bleaching, species migration and, through the loss of habitats and biodiversity, food web disruptions on major scales. Also, pollutants such as plastics and other marine debris, wastewater, as well as chemical runoffs, including oil spills, cause major ecosystem disruptions. Importantly, given the interconnectedness of all life on the planet, the deteriorating health of our ...

Family Heart Foundation teams up with former NFL quarterback Matt Hasselbeck to launch “tackle cholesterol™: Get into the LDL Safe Zone®”

2026-02-05

FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla., February 3, 2026 — To kick off Super Bowl LX week and American Heart Month, the Family Heart Foundation, a leading research and advocacy organization, is teaming up with three-time Pro Bowler and former Seattle NFL quarterback Matt Hasselbeck to launch a national campaign focused on raising awareness of high cholesterol as a key risk factor for heart attack and stroke. The campaign, “Tackle Cholesterol: Get into the LDL Safe Zone,” reinforces the importance of early ...

New study shows Ugandan women reduced psychological distress and increased coping using Transcendental Meditation after COVID-19 lockdown

2026-02-05

A peer reviewed, randomized controlled study with 199 women living in poverty in the city slums of Uganda was published today in Health Care for Women International. This study was conducted following two extended country-wide lockdowns in Uganda during the Covid 19 pandemic. Researchers found that the Transcendental Meditation® (TM®) technique reduced perceived stress, anger, and fatigue; increased self-efficacy; and improved sleep quality. TM helped these women to improve their mental and physical health and positively impacted their ability to cope in this crisis. “The Covid lockdowns in Uganda, which resulted in food shortages, lack of employment, ...

University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers discover that vaginal bacteria don’t always behave the same way

2026-02-05

For decades, gynecological tests have relied on a simplified view of the vaginal microbiome, categorizing bacteria as either “good” or “bad.” New research from University of Maryland School of Medicine scientists challenges that assumption, revealing that bacteria of the same species can behave in fundamentally different ways, with important implications for women’s health. Today, gynecological tests largely focus on detecting two groups of bacteria in the vaginal microbiome: Lactobacillus, generally associated with health, and Gardnerella, which has been linked to Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases, ...

New approach to HIV treatment offers hope to reduce daily drug needs

2026-02-05

CLEVELAND— More than 30 million people with HIV must take antiretroviral therapy (ART) medications daily to keep the virus under control, according to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). The drugs are effective but don’t eliminate the virus; HIV remains hidden in “reservoirs” throughout the body, ready to reactivate if treatment stops. But researchers at Case Western Reserve University, in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh, have made a significant breakthrough in HIV treatment. They’ve ...

New stem cell treatment may offer hope for Parkinson’s disease

2026-02-05

LOS ANGELES — Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects more than one million people in the United States, with approximately 90,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Although available treatments can help manage symptoms, there is currently no cure or therapy proven to slow the progression of the disease. Parkinson’s disease is associated with reduced dopamine release in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter essential for movement, memory, mood and ...

Researchers find new way to slow memory loss in Alzheimer’s

2026-02-05

Alzheimer’s disease is often measured in statistics: millions affected worldwide, cases rising sharply, costs climbing into the trillions. For families, the disease is experienced far more intimately. “It’s a slow bereavement,” says Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Professor Nicholas Tonks, whose mother lived with Alzheimer’s. “You lose the person piece by piece.” There’s a lot of discussion about how the neurodegenerative disorder may be caused by a buildup of “plaque” ...

Insilico Medicine nominates ISM5059, the peripheral-restricted NLRP3 inhibitor as preclinical candidate

2026-02-05

NLRP3 is a validated anti-inflammatory target that mediates the release of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, and ISM5059 targets systemic inflammatory conditions by targeting NLRP3 and blocking the inflammatory cascade at its source. Unlike ISM8969, Insilico’s brain-penetrant NLRP3 pipeline already with FDA IND clearance, ISM5059 features a completely different chemical core designed for peripheral-restricted potency. Empowered by AI, ISM5059 demonstrated robust efficacy, excellent safety profiles in preclinical ...

Low-temperature-activated deployment of smart 4D-printed vascular stents

2026-02-05

Cardiovascular diseases constitute a major global health concern. Various complications that affect normal blood flow in arteries and veins, such as stroke, blood clot formation in veins, blood vessel rupture, and coronary artery disease, often require vascular treatments. However, existing vascular stent devices often require complex, invasive deployment procedures, making it necessary to explore novel materials and manufacturing technologies that could enable such medical devices to work more naturally with the human body. Moreover, the development of ...

Clinical relevance of brain functional connectome uniqueness in major depressive disorder

2026-02-05

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating condition that affects more than 246 million people worldwide, yet scientists have struggled to identify consistent brain markers that could improve diagnosis and treatment. Finding reliable neurobiological markers for MDD has been hampered by the methodological differences observed across neuroimaging studies. Traditional brain imaging studies have produced conflicting results, often due to differences in methods and analysis pipelines. This inconsistency has made it difficult to pinpoint reliable neurobiological signatures of depression. Against this backdrop, a new study led by Research Fellow Siti Nurul Zhahara ...
