ECB 2021 has been a success! Welcome to the new electronic conference ECB 2023.

Welcome from the Chairs

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to join the 1st International Electronic Conference on Biomedicine (ECB 2021) that is hosted online by: https://ecb2021.sciforum.net.

ECB 2021 will present the latest research related to all aspects of research on human health and disease, the discovery and characterization of new therapeutic targets, therapeutic strategies, and research of naturally driven biomedicines, pharmaceuticals, and biopharmaceutical products.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  1. Nanomedicine and Precision Medicine
  2. Nutraceuticals, Nano Nutraceuticals and Nano Pharmaceuticals
  3. Cancer Therapeutics
  4. Metal-based Therapeutics in Preclinical and Clinical Developments
  5. Oncolytic Virus-mediated Immunotherapy
  6. Neuroprotective Therapies in Spinal Cord Injury; the First and Necessary Step Towards the Cure
  7. Exploring Biomedicines in Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry
  8. Nanomaterials and Its Application in Biomedicine, including Drug/Gene/Vaccine Delivery, Imaging, Medical Devices and Surgical Implants
  9. Translational Biomarkers in Clinical Biomedicine and Precision Medicine
  10. G-protein-coupled Receptor Family
  11. Microbiota, Probiotics and Nutraceuticals: Preventive and Therapeutic Potential

ECB 2021 seeks to fulfill this need by offering a completely digital (online) method for running a scientific conference. ECB 2021 will allow its participants to share their latest research results and receive near-instantaneous feedback from biomedical researchers throughout the world through online question and answer sessions and discussion groups. In this way, ECB 2021 will serve as a platform for advancing the state-of-the-art in biomedicines. There is no cost to participate in ECB 2021.

All submitted abstracts will be evaluated by the conference committee. Upon acceptance of their abstract, authors will contribute an extended abstract for the conference proceedings and a slide presentation of their work. Selected papers (need 50% extension compared with the proceedings papers) will be considered for publication in the special issue "Selected Papers in the 1st International Electronic Conference on Biomedicine (ECB 2021)", with a 20% discount on the APC after peer-review.

I hope you will choose to be a part of this exciting conference and present your most transformative research on biomedicine.

Submission of Manuscripts

Submission: Manuscripts should be submitted online at https://ecb2021.sciforum.net by registering and logging in to this website.

Accepted File Formats

  • MS Word: Manuscript prepared in MS Word must be converted into a single file before submission. When preparing manuscripts in MS Word, the 1st International Electronic Conference on Microbiology Microsoft Word template file (see download below) must be used. Please do not insert any graphics (schemes, figures, etc.) into a movable frame which can superimpose the text and make layout very difficult.

ECB_2021_Word_template.docx

Manuscript Preparation

  • Paper Format: A4 paper format, the printing area is 17.5 cm × 26.2 cm. The margins should be 1.75 cm on each side of the paper (top, bottom, left, and right sides).
  • Paper Length: The conference proceedings paper should not be longer than 6 pages. The conference manuscript should be as concise as possible.
  • Formatting/Style: The paper style of the journal Proceedings should be followed. You may download the template file to prepare your paper (see above). The full titles of the cited papers must be given. Reference numbers should be placed in square brackets [ ], and placed before punctuation; for example [4] or [1–3], and all the references should be listed separately and as the last section at the end of the manuscript.
  • Authors List and Affiliation Format: Authors’ full first and last names must be given. Abbreviated middle name(s) can be added. For papers written by various contributors, a corresponding author must be designated. The PubMed/MEDLINE format is used for affiliations: complete street address information including city, zip code, state/province, country, and email address should be added. All authors who contributed significantly to the manuscript (including writing a section) should be listed on the first page of the manuscript, below the title of the article. Other parties who provided only minor contributions should only be listed under Acknowledgments. A minor contribution might be a discussion with the author, reading through the draft of the manuscript, or performing English corrections.
  • Figures, Schemes, and Tables: Authors are encouraged to prepare figures and schemes in color. Full color graphics will be published free of charge. Figure and schemes must be numbered (Figure 1, Scheme I, Figure 2, Scheme II, etc.) and an explanatory title must be added. Tables should be inserted into the main text, and numbers and titles for all tables supplied. All table columns should have an explanatory heading. Please supply legends for all figures, schemes, and tables. The legends should be prepared as a separate paragraph of the main text and placed in the main text before a table, figure, or scheme.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

It is the authors’ 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 here “The authors declare no conflict 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. Financial support for the study must be fully disclosed under the “Acknowledgments” section.

Copyright

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