Welcome from the Conference Chair

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural International Bioactives Conference 2026 at Macquarie University.​The conference was established to bring together researchers, industry and other organisations working across the broad field of bioactives, from discovery and characterisation through to health applications, product development and translation.

​

Over three days, we hope to create opportunities to share new research, build connections across disciplines and sectors, and explore where the next opportunities in bioactives research and innovation may lie. We are particularly pleased to bring together an outstanding group of invited speakers alongside researchers and students from Australia and overseas.

​

I look forward to welcoming you to Macquarie University in September and to what I hope will become an important meeting for the bioactives community.
