International e-Conference on Bio-medical, Environmental and Nutritional Health Sciences 2008

(IeCBEN08)

Book of Abstracts

FULL PAPERS of the e-Conference available here starting November 2008

Foreword

The International e-Conference on Bio-medical, Environmental and Nutritional Health Sciences 2008 (IeCBEN 2008) held from October 6 - 20, 2008 is unique in that participants will exhibit their presentations and interact entirely electronically, i.e. on the internet. One major reason behind the conception of the e-conference is a desire to reduce the costs of participation, and thereby increase the number of participants from developing countries. Participants incur no expenses for transportation, hotel accommodation, per diem, visa, etc since the conference can be attended from the office, home or any other place with internet access. 

The 1st e-Conference has been received very positively with numerous high quality presentations being entered from all continents. In addition to publishing the abstracts online, participants have an opportunity to publish full papers in the Journal of Applied Biosciences (ISSN 1997-5902).

This publication comprises the Book of Abstracts submitted for the 1st e-Conference (IeCBEN 2008). Links to all outputs of this e-conference can be accessed at http://www.e-conference.elewa.org/biomedical.
