Our scientific program, curated by eminent members of the scientific committee, will offer an exciting and informative program on the cutting edge of the science of laboratory medicine. We aim to present exemplary science that will be of interest to all attendees, allowing them to update their knowledge on recent developments and advances, share expertise and experience, as well as discuss problems in their field of practice. The program will feature various parallel sessions covering a wide variety of topics, enabling attendees to tailor the program to their own interests and clinical practice, along with information-packed Pre-Congress Workshops.
The host city, Delhi, has a rich history dating back to 1450 BC, being known as Indraprastha, the capital city of the Pandavas empire. Subsequently, many different dynasties have ruled from this magnificent city. One can see the remnants of the flourishing past scattered all over the city. Delhi has three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Qutub Minar, Humayun’s Tomb, and the Red Fort. It is a city where ancient and modern blend seamlessly together, known for its culture, festivals, traditions, history, cuisine, bazaars, museums, monuments, and more.
The congress is being held at ‘YASHOBHUMI’ Convention & Congress Centre in Sector 25, Dwarka, inaugurated by the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, in 2023. It is easily accessible from the international airport, with over 5000 hotel rooms available within a 5-7 km radius.
Through IFCC WorldLab Congress, sponsor companies will have the opportunity to display their products to key individuals in a country that is one of the biggest markets for the IVD industry. It would also be a great forum for them to interact with the world’s top leaders in the field of biochemistry and laboratory medicine.
India is a diverse country that offers travelers a chance to experience its beauty, from the pristine beaches of Goa to the grand castles and palaces of Rajasthan. From the Switzerland of the East (Kashmir) to God’s Own Country in the South (Kerala). Consider exploring this beautiful land and its friendly people either before or after the congress.

In an era of advancing clinical research, precision medicine, biomedical discovery, and medical diagnosis, the significance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science cannot be overstated. Foundational techniques such as machine learning (ML), including its subsets like deep learning, and other AI-driven approaches play a crucial role in assisting epidemiologists and clinicians in predicting virus spread and preventing non-transmissible diseases through early detection, monitoring, data compilation, and healthcare worker training. Concurrently, the utilization of telemedicine, mobile health, and the Internet of Things continues to rise. It is incumbent upon Laboratory Medicine professionals to effectively implement and evaluate these innovative technologies and practices within healthcare delivery services, while also deliberating on regulatory and ethical considerations to safeguard patient safety.
The Scientific Program Committee for IFCC WorldLab New Delhi 2026 is diligently curating an exhilarating program that aims to showcase the future of laboratory diagnostics, encompassing cutting-edge science and disruptive technologies in laboratory medicine. Furthermore, the committee is dedicated to maintaining a meticulous balance with traditional Laboratory Medicine. We are confident that participants from around the world will find IFCC WorldLab New Delhi 2026 to be a gratifying and unforgettable experience.
We eagerly anticipate our gathering in New Delhi at IFCC WorldLab 2026.
Warm regards
