Welcome from the Chair

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce the 1st International Online Conference on Medical Sciences. This conference has been organized by the MDPI open access journal Medical Sciences (ISSN 2076-3271, Impact Factor 4.4, CiteScore 4.6) and will be held online from 25 to 26 May 2027.

The conference will provide an opportunity for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals from academia and industry to present their latest research findings and exchange ideas in basic, translational, and clinical medicine. The conference themes focus on major advances in cancer research, cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases, immunology and inflammation, respiratory and critical care medicine, and neuroscience:

Cancer Evolution, Tumor Ecosystems, and Next-Generation Therapeutics;
Cardiovascular and Cardiometabolic Disease: Mechanisms, Biomarkers, and Precision Intervention;
Immunology, Infection, and Inflammation in Human Disease;
Respiratory and Critical Care Frontiers: From Acute Injury to Chronic Disease;
Neuroscience Frontiers: Neuroinflammation, Neurodegeneration, and Repair.

We would like to invite you to submit abstracts and participate in this virtual meeting of the interdisciplinary medical research community to discuss the latest advances in basic, translational, and clinical medicine. The conference will highlight emerging discoveries and therapeutic strategies in cancer research, cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases, immunology and inflammation, respiratory and critical care medicine, and neuroscience. The meeting will also feature awards for outstanding oral and poster presentations.

This event will solely be an online conference, which allows for the participation of scientists from all over the world without travel limitations. Participation in this online conference is free of charge.

We look forward to your participation.

Kind regards,

Prof. Dr. Antoni Torres

Important Deadline

Deadline for abstract submission: 25 January 2027
Abstract acceptance notification: 25 February 2027.

Please note:
An abstract acceptance email only confirms that your abstract has been accepted. Oral or poster presentation invitations are determined separately by the conference chairs, and you will receive an additional email with the presentation result.

Abstract Submission

If you do not have an account, please register at www.sciforum.net. After logging in, submit your abstract using the “Submit Abstract” button on the conference homepage. No template is required.

Abstract Requirements

Types of Submissions
- Accepted: Original research abstracts; systematic reviews or meta-analyses abstracts (must comply with PRISMA 2020).
- Not accepted: Narrative, scoping, comparative, perspective, opinion, or essay-style reviews.
Content Requirements
- Length: 200–300 words.
- Structure: Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions.
- Language: Clear, publication-ready English.
- Originality: Must be original and unpublished; previously published abstracts will not be considered.
Authorship
- The submitting author must ensure all co-authors approve the content.
- Authors may submit multiple abstracts, but only one abstract per author may be selected for an oral presentation.

Presentation Requirements

1. Each abstract must designate one presenter. To change the presenter, please contact us after you receive the oral/poster presentation invitation.

2. Only live presentations are accepted.

3. Presenters who do not attend the live session will not be eligible for awards or presentation certificates

Oral Presentation and Slides Preparation

The slot for the oral presentation is 15 mins. We advise that your presentation lasts for a maximum of 12 mins, leaving at least 3 mins for the Q&A session.

Authors are encouraged to prepare presentations using PowerPoint or equivalent software for online display alongside their abstract. If provided, slides will be presented directly on the conference website via the Sciforum.net slide viewer and should be prepared in the same format as a traditional conference presentation of research results. All slides must be converted to PDF format prior to submission to ensure accurate online display.

Each presentation should:

- Communicate the research question or objective, methodology, key results, and scientific novelty;
- Use a clear and logical structure, typically Introduction-Methods-Results&Discussion structure (IMRaD) or a field-appropriate alternative;
- Emphasize the relevance of the work;
- Support key findings with clear figures or tables where appropriate;
- Conclude with a critical interpretation of the results and their impact.

Poster Presentation

Posters should be designed to allow independent understanding of the research and clearly present the essential elements of the study.

Each poster should include:

- Title, authors, affiliations, and contact details (clearly displayed at the top);
- Brief introduction outlining the research objective;
- Concise methodology summary;
- Main results, supported by clear, well-labeled figures or tables where appropriate;
- Short conclusion summarizing key findings and their relevance.

Technical specifications:
Dimensions (cm): 84.1 × 118.9 (A0 - portrait)
Resolution:300 dpi
Pixel size (portrait, 300 dpi):9933 × 14043 px
Minimum font size:≥24

The poster template can be downloaded HERE. We will reach out to you closer to the dates of the conference with more information.

Note: The uploaded poster may be used as provided and serves as a reference. However, as long as the technical specifications are followed, scholars are welcome to use any poster template of their choice.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

It is the author's responsibility to identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of clinical research. If there is no conflict, please state "The authors declare no conflicts of interest." This should be conveyed in a separate "Conflict of Interest" statement preceding the "Acknowledgments" and "References" sections at the end of the manuscript. Any financial support for the study must be fully disclosed in the "Acknowledgments" section.

Copyright

MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting an abstract to this conference, you retain the copyright to the work, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this abstract online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your full paper (with the abstract) to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher if required.
