Abstract Book
Dear Attendee,
Welcome to “Bio Team Egypt”, It is my honor to welcome every one of you to the first volume of National Biotechnology Congress, 2020.
National Biotech Congress has set its priority to be a platform for Biotechnology, Entrepreneurship and Scientific dialogue, bringing together an inclusive spectrum of figures from the academia and private sectors. Scientific advancements, research and innovation are shared, exchanged and discussed within the professional network to decide how sciences, technology and entrepreneurship can be integrated to practically serve the economic and social needs for Egypt and our global society as well.
We are concerned with Biotechnology awareness for the academic community with the main aspects of Biotechnology including: Multidisciplinary points of view, Biotech-Entrepreneurship and how research can be the real motive of technology and economic growth. These concepts will be discussed in “National Biotechnology Congress Vol.1” that is addressing “A Neoteric Millennium”.
Whether you are here for the first time or are joining us again, Welcome! We promise that you will gain knowledge, insights and understanding from our sessions, Lectures and speakers. We hope to continue participate in future conferences of “Bio Team Egypt”.
