Topics

Abstract/Full Paper/Posters are welcomed in the following research fields:

1. Biology:

General biology covers the spectrum from the tiniest molecules to the largest ecosystems.

Molecular & Cellular Biology

• Biochemistry: Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.

• Cell Structure: Organelles (nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts) and membrane transport.

• Cellular Metabolism: Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

• Genetics: Mendelian inheritance, DNA replication, transcription, and translation.

• Cell Signaling: Hormones, receptors, and signal transduction pathways.

Organismal Biology & Physiology

• Plant Biology: Photosynthesis, xylem/phloem transport, and plant hormones.

• Animal Physiology: Nervous, circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems.

• Developmental Biology: Embryogenesis, stem cells, and cell differentiation.

• Evolutionary Biology: Natural selection, speciation, and phylogenetics.

2. Microbiology: 

Microbiology focuses on organisms that are generally too small to be seen with the naked eye.

Bacteriology & Virology

• Bacterial Morphology: Cell walls (Gram-positive vs. Gram-negative) and growth phases.

• Microbial Genetics: Plasmids, transformation, transduction, and conjugation.

• Virology: Viral structure, lytic vs. lysogenic cycles, and viral pathogenesis.

• Mycology & Parasitology: Study of fungi, protozoa, and helminths.

Applied & Medical Microbiology

• Immunology: Innate vs. adaptive immunity, antibodies, and vaccines.

• Pathogenesis: Mechanisms of infection and virulence factors.

• Antimicrobial Agents: Antibiotics, resistance mechanisms, and antifungal treatments.

• Industrial Microbiology: Fermentation, bioreactors, and biofuel production.

3. Environmental Sciences: 

This field examines the interaction between living organisms and their physical environment.

Ecology & Ecosystems

• Population Ecology: Growth curves (r/K selection) and carrying capacity.

• Community Ecology: Symbiosis, competition, and trophic levels.

• Biogeochemical Cycles: The Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus cycles.

• Conservation Biology: Biodiversity loss, endangered species, and habitat restoration.

Environmental Chemistry & Pollution

• Atmospheric Science: Greenhouse effect, ozone depletion, and air quality.

• Hydrology: Water treatment, eutrophication, and groundwater contamination.

• Soil Science: Soil composition, erosion, and nutrient management.

• Toxicology: Bioaccumulation, biomagnification, and endocrine disruptors.

Climate Change & Policy

• Climate Dynamics: Global warming, ocean acidification, and sea-level rise.

• Renewable Energy: Solar, wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric power.

• Environmental Policy: Sustainability laws, carbon credits, and international treaties.

Interdisciplinary Overlap

• Biotechnology: Using microbes for environmental cleanup (Bioremediation).

• Epidemiology: Tracking how diseases spread through populations and environments.

• Synthetic Biology: Designing new biological parts for industrial or environmental use.
