Committee & Speakers

Welcome statement from the Conference Chairs

“I attended the seventh and eighth International Symposium on Molecular Insect Science held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in 2014 and Sitges, Spain in 2019 respectively. I found these meetings to be real highlights of the conference calendar – the single session format avoided the need to move between rooms/talks and fostered networking with other entomologists. Furthermore, the topic of molecular entomology provided a clear overarching focus to the symposium while the diverse themes ensured exposure to a wide range of subjects in insect molecular sciences. I am very much looking forward to the 9th Molecular Insect Science Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and anticipate an exciting selection of talks and posters across diverse topics, catching up with colleagues and making new connections.”

“As one of the Conference Chairs of MOLI 2026, I am truly excited about this upcoming meeting. MOLI has always been a place where great science meets meaningful collaboration, and I firmly believe that your participation will help shape the future of our field. I look forward to welcoming you, exchanging inspiring ideas, and building new partnerships that will make our science stronger and our impact greater.”

作为MOLI 2026大会主席之一，我对这次会议充满期待。MOLI一直以来都是卓越科学与深度合作交汇的平台，我坚信您的参与将推动我们领域未来的发展。我诚挚期待在会议上欢迎您的到来，共同交流前沿思想、开启新的合作，让我们的科研更具力量、产生更大的影响。

“I attended the second Molecular Insect Science Conference in Flagstaff, Arizona, in 1993 when I was a postdoctoral researcher. That meeting played a pivotal role in shaping my academic career in insect molecular toxicology. The upcoming 9th Molecular Insect Science Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will provide an outstanding international platform for scientists and researchers worldwide to share their latest discoveries in the field. As a member of the conference organizing committee and the Editor-in-Chief of Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, I look forward to attending the conference and engaging with colleagues and participants.”

我于 1993 年在亚利桑那州弗拉格斯塔夫参加了第二届分子昆虫科学会议，当时我还是一名博士后研究人员。那次会议对我在昆虫分子毒理学领域的学术生涯起到了关键性的推动作用。即将在马来西亚吉隆坡召开的第九届分子昆虫科学会议将为全球科学家和研究人员提供一个卓越的国际平台，用于分享他们在该领域的最新成果。作为大会组委会成员以及《Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology》期刊的主编，我非常期待参加此次会议并与各位同仁和与会者深入交流。
