Novel and challenging methodologies
Systems biology

Abstract of oral presentations and posters/short presentations can be submitted, starting from August 20 and no later than September 20, following the instructions at the web address: https://www.bbcc-meetings.it/submit/

Briefly, abstracts must be written in English, should present original research describing new development and/or practical applications, and must not exceed 400 words, without images. A submission form will be available for guiding the procedure.
Abstracts will be evaluated by members of the Scientific Committee for admission to the Conference Program. For each abstract admitted in the Conference Program, it is required the registration of one author in order to be included into the Final Program of the Conference. Authors will be notified of the acceptance status of their abstracts in time for registering with early registration fees. Instructions for preparing presentations and posters will be provided upon acceptance and registration to the Conference.
