Principais Conferências de Biotecnologia Vale a pena participar em 2020

Mahasweta Pal, escritor científico freelance on Kolabtree, writes about the top biotecnologia conferences in 2020 happening around the world.  

Recently, the world of biotechnology scored incredible leaps of progress. From CRISPR babies to gene therapy, waves of advancements rocked the business world. However, the discussions on ethics and regulations in biotechnology research did not die down. Vigilance, clinical practice guidelines, commercialization challenges, pricing of cell therapies, and so on — the agendas are overflowing for 2020. However, the bright side is, the crucial questions that remained unanswered until 2018 showed signs of certainty as 2020 dawned in. CRISPR regulations became definite and universal; the ações regulatórias muito aguardadas sobre questões de bioética foram abordados.

In such a dynamic time, the pace of the industry is something that a biotechnology researcher should not miss. Some of the biggest biotechnology industry events are slated for 2020, which promise a spectacle of groundbreaking developments. You could attend trade fairs exhibiting neurological research that could become the platform for wearables tomorrow. Similarly, at premier biologia molecular conferences lined up, novel signaling pathways would be showcased, which are potential drug targets for tomorrow. Biotech researchers may attend not one, but at least three conferences.

Portanto, apresentamos uma lista dos eventos mais aguardados da indústria da Biotecnologia em 2020 que estão acontecendo em todo o mundo. cientistas freelancejovens e velhos, devem comparecer!
