Call for Abstracts: 3rd Annual International Conference on Advances in Biotechnology (BioTech 2013)

18 - 19 March 2013 Singapore

Paper Submission (Full Paper) Deadline 28 September 2012

Biotechnology is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine and other fields requiring bioproducts. The concept encompasses a wide range of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purposes - going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of plants, and "improvements" to these through breeding programs that employ artificial selection and hybridization.

This multi-disciplinary conference aims to provide a challenging forum and vibrant opportunity for researchers and industry practitioners to share their original research results and practical development experiences on specific new challenges and emerging issues.

Pharmaceutical / Medicine

• Structural Biology
• Proteomics
• Cell Cycle and Oncology
• Medical Microbiology
• Diagnostic Pathology
• Clinical Chemistry
• Haematology
• Diagnostic Imaging
• Medical Imaging and Methods

Call for Abstracts: 6th International Conference on Ocular Infections

The 6th International Conference on Ocular Infections (ICOI) will be held on March 7-10, 2013 at the Loews Hotel, Santa Monica, CA, USA.

Infections of the eye continue to challenge clinicians around the world to make an accurate, rapid diagnosis, as well as providing optimal therapy given the emergence of spread of antimicrobial resistance.

The Scientific Committee encourages the submission of original Abstracts for poster presentations.

All abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee.

The accepted abstracts will be published in the book of abstracts.

If an Abstract is accepted, the presenting author must register.

Authors who submit an abstract but fail to register for the conference run the risk of having their abstracts withdrawn.

The Deadline for Abstract Submission is December 2nd, 2012.

Abstracts must be submitted via the Conference website.

Abstracts submitted by fax or email will not be accepted, If you are unable to submit them via the website, please contact the Secretariat.

Confirmations will be sent by December 13th, 2012.

Submitters that their abstract has been accepted will have to register no later than December 22, 2012.
