Bioleagues has continued its effort to bring research and clinical practice together to enable and exchange the innovative concepts from laboratory to bedside and vice versa. The goal of this Conference is to unite the international biotechnology community to take a fresh look at the key topics and challenges that our field faces. As practitioners, scholars, and citizens there is a need for us to work together to explore the possibilities and plan strategically, the collective growth of our science, its applications and practices. We hope to achieve advancements in many facets of this multidisciplinary field, from agriculture and bio-manufacturing, to ground breaking cancer treatments and medicines, to even information technology.
