Basic research in biology (e.g. genomics, proteomics, molecular biology, immunology, cell biology, enzymology, microbiology, biochemistry, nanotechnology)
Applied research in biology and medicine (e.g. medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, clinical research, toxicology, therapeutics, diagnostics, bioinformatics, nanotechnology)
Engineering applied to the biosciences (e.g. biomedical engineering, biomechanics, manufacturing, biophysics, nanotechnology)
Food and agriculture (e.g. functional foods and nutraceuticals, food processing, agricultural biotechnology and advanced agriculture)
Bioprocessing (e.g. microbial fermentation and cell culture, bioconversion, bio-fuels, manufacturing)
Business posters related to opportunities in the biosciences (e.g. market analysis, demand projection, commercialization plans)
