About the Event

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to the

IX Annual Meeting on the Cardiotonic Steroids and the Na+ Pump

The Na+ Pump Meeting stands as one of Brazil's most enduring scientific gatherings. Over the past decade, it has been hosted by various Brazilian institutions, serving as a pivotal platform for scientific discussions that contribute significantly to the advancement of fundamental knowledge in Na+, K+-ATPase biochemistry, molecular biology and related fields. Additionally, it serves as a forum for dialogues on scientific education and training, generating consensus that can influence public policies for the betterment of society. For this year's meeting, the organizing committee has curated an engaging interdisciplinary program, featuring lectures by esteemed foreign scientists.

The event is scheduled to take place at National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC) from September 8th to 11th, 2026 and aims to delve into the latest advances and challenges in biochemical research, cell signaling cascade and clinical role of Na+, K+- ATPase.

We eagerly anticipate your participation in this exciting scientific event and hope to see you soon in Rio de Janeiro!

Best regards,
Scientific Committee
