Our very successful series of lectures on sodium channels in the World Wide Sodium Channel Seminar Series created a sodium channel community with lively discussions and interactions. To continue the highly fruitful exchange of ideas and new data, there will be the second in-person World Wide Sodium Channel Conference #WSCC26 from February 4th to February 6th 2026 in Grindelwald, Switzerland.

We would like to give every participant a similar amount of time for presenting: in topic focused sessions several concise talks of equal length will be presented  – independent if someone is senior or junior. With this format we hope to give room for discussing as much as possible of the best of world wide ongoing Nav science.

 We look forward to welcoming you in Grindelwald!

The Organizing Team: Hugues Abriel, Oksana Iamshanova, Jean-Sébastien Rougier, Ana Stojiljkovic (Bern, Switzerland); Angelika Lampert, Jannis Körner, Pauline Kinny, Aylin Kesdoğan (Aachen, Germany)
