The Nitric Oxide Society will host its 14th International Conference on the Biology, Chemistry and Therapeutic Applications of Nitric Oxide in Austin, Texas from April 23-25, 2026, marking the organization's 30th anniversary. Dr. Nathan S. Bryan, Treasurer of the Society and meeting organizer, announced the three-day scientific conference that will bring together the world's experts, researchers, and innovators in the nitric oxide field at the Fairmont hotel.
This year's conference holds particular significance as it features Louis J. Ignarro, the 1998 Nobel Prize winner for his discovery of nitric oxide in the cardiovascular system. Dr. Ignarro will lecture on his journey to Stockholm and recount the discoveries that led to the Nobel Prize. The event represents a major gathering of pioneers who established the field of nitric oxide science, with Dr. Bryan stating that "nitric oxide is the future of medicine."
The conference's importance stems from its focus on developing safe, effective nitric oxide therapies to address poorly managed chronic diseases. By bringing together different disciplines of study, organizers aim to gain a better understanding of the biology, chemistry and therapeutics of nitric oxide. The Society, founded in 1996 and incorporated in California, was formed specifically to advance nitric oxide science and foster research, education and innovations in the field.
This international meeting convenes every two years in North America, Europe and Japan to present the latest scientific and clinical research on what Dr. Bryan calls "the miracle molecule of nitric oxide." The conference serves as a platform for disseminating important research results and enhancing the education of students and researchers through interdisciplinary communication.

The gathering's impact extends beyond academic circles to health and longevity enthusiasts and companies involved in nitric oxide product technology. As chronic diseases continue to challenge global healthcare systems, the research presented at this conference could influence future therapeutic approaches and product development. The Society's official journal, Nitric Oxide Biology and Chemistry, publishes meritorious scientific articles that often emerge from these conferences, furthering the field's development.
