"Biotechnology for Better Life" Conference of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Research

3rd International Conference of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Research Division 3-5 November 2009 Cairo Egypt

Nowadays interdisciplinary research (Biotechnology and nanotechnology) are the main pillar of smart economy. Biotechnology is a group of technologies that share two (common) characteristics working with living cells and molecules and having a wide range of practical uses that can improve our lives. Biotechnology incorporates disciplines like genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology and cell biology, which are in turn linked to practical disciplines such as chemical engineering, information technology and biorobotics. The applications of biotechnology are so broad, and the advantages so compelling that virtually every industry is using this technology. Most of our problems, such as global warming, desertification, shortage of water resources, epidemic diseases food shortage etc are global problems and need networking of research institutions worldwide to tackle such problems. Ongoing research and application of biotechnology confirmed that this revolutionary aspect has so many fruitful outcomes in almost all aspects of life. Unfortunately, most of the developing countries need much more efforts to benefit from this scientific revolution. Among the problems which hinder benefiting from biotechnology are costs, lack of public and political acceptance and evacuation of research institutions from highly qualified human resources. This necessitates regular scientific meetings and gathering of scientists and stakeholders to update and exchange knowledge and experience, and to develop some sort of cooperation of mutual benefits. The current conference is one of National Research Centre of Egypt efforts to encourage and support such international conferences in that field.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
