17th International Conference on Biological Inorganic Chemistry

17th International Conference on Biological Inorganic Chemistry
July 20-24,2015 | Beijing,China

On behalf of the organizing committee, we cordially invite you to 17th International Conference on Biological Inorganic Chemistry (ICBIC17), which will be held on July 20-24, 2015 in Beijing, an international city having hosted 29th Olympic Games and offered a great number of activities and cultural diversions.

Biological Inorganic Chemistry has become an interdisciplinary area from chemistry, biology, environmental science, bioinspired materials to medicine. ICBIC has become a highly established international meeting, provides a platform for scientists to present and discuss the latest developments and helps promote ongoing and new collaborations. The ICBIC17 will continue to focus on all aspects of the frontiers of Biological Inorganic Chemistry and build on the previous meetings that have been held in Grenoble, France (2013);Vancouver, Canada (2011); Nagoya, Japan (2009); ... Cairns, Australia(2003); ... Yokohama, Japan (1997);

Your participation in the conference is essential to the success of the event - we eagerly await your submissions and your arrival!
