Welcome from the Chairs

Dear colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd International Electronic Conference on Biomedicines (ECB 2025), which will be held from 12 to 15 May 2025. This electronic conference will be held online at https://sciforum.net/event/ECB2025.

The goal of this conference is to enable scientists to present their latest research in the field of biomedicines and engage in discussions with the scientific community worldwide. Recent advances in biomedical research have provided an advanced insight into the biological background of human disease, setting the groundwork for the development of new therapeutic strategies. This conference aims to connect scientists working on this field of research from across the globe, allowing them to exchange ideas on the discovery and characterization of new therapeutic targets in the era of precise medicine.

The agenda of the conference includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

S1. Insulin Resistance or Hyperinsulinemia
S2. Immunotherapy and Adverse Effects
S3. Tumor Microenvironment
S4. Immune System, Tumor Immunology and Autoimmune Disease
S5. Biomedicine in Cardiovascular Diseases
S6. Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolic Diseases
S7. Gene Therapy and Gene Editing
S8. Rare Diseases
S9. Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration

The ECB 2025 will be an online-only event, enabling scientists from all over the world to participate, with a small registration fee, but with no requirement for travel or related expenses. The electronic form of the conference provides a platform for rapid and direct exchanges regarding the latest research findings and novel ideas.

All participants are encouraged to submit an extended full manuscript for potential publication in the Biomedicines journal (ISSN: 2227-9059), with a 20% discount on the publication fee. All submitted papers will undergo MDPI’s standard peer-review procedure.

We look forward to receiving your contributions to this scientific event, and we would like to thank you in advance for your support.

Introduction
Bio
My research experience focuses on investigating the intricate functional interplay of different brain areas involved in emotional learning, action control, brain plasticity, decision-making, and a variety of cognitive tasks. To this end, my research activities primarily revolve around the utilization of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), in addition to employing various neuroscientific techniques to record physiological measures, including EEG, SCR, HRV, and EMG. I have conducted extensive research involving both healthy individuals, examining intra/inter-individual differences, and patients with acquired brain injuries. In my investigations, I employ a multimodal approach that integrates behavioral assessments, electrophysiological measurements, and neurostimulation techniques. The overarching aim of my research is to develop innovative therapeutic protocols, with a particular focus on utilizing the cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation (ccPAS) method to facilitate neuroplasticity and enhance functional recovery. Recently, in 2023, I was recognized as one of the world's top 2% scientists by Stanford University and Elsevier, and in 2024, I won the 'Young Investigator Award' granted by the European Society for Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (ESCAN).
