General Information about ICBB
The 5th International Conference on Biotechnology and Bioengineering (ICBB 2016) and 2016 International Conference on Coastal Ecology and Marine Biotechnology (ICCEMB 2016) organized by Asia-Pacific Association of Science, Engineering and Technology (APASET), will be held in Bangkok, Thailand from Dec 8th to Dec 10th, 2016.
ICBB is one of the most professional and cutting-edge international conferences in the fields of Biotechnology and Bioengineering, focusing on Biotechnology’s latest research results and applications in animals, plants and microbes areas, as well as its current and future developments.
The aim of the conference is to provide worldwide specialists, scholars, and engineering technicians that are engaged in Biotechnology and Bioengineering a chance to exchange the latest research results, learn the latest technology and build international friendships; in particular for domestic academics, the conference can be a platform to learn about global research fronts and hot spots, which also serves to foster communication among researchers and practitioners working in a wide variety of scientific areas with a common interest in Biotechnology and Bioengineering.
ICBB 2016 sincerely invites academics, independent scholars and researchers from around the world to meet and exchange the latest ideas and views in a forum encouraging respectful dialogue. Experts, practitioners and policy makers from all over the globe will present the latest innovations and advances on Biotechnology and Bioengineering, share their experience and insights, forecast the trends and opportunities, and discuss the policy, economics and social implications.
This time, ICBB will combine with ICCEMB. More information about ICCEMB, please visit: http://iccemb.apaset.org/
The 6th ICBB combined with ICABBE will be held in Offenburg, Germany during September 26-28, 2017. More information please see http://www.icbb.hs-offenburg.de/. Meanwhile, 7th ICBB (agriculture and food biotechnology aspects), combined with International Conference on Agricultural and Food Science (ICFAS) will be held in Lahore, Pakistan during October 25-27, 2017.
