Dear Colleagues,

I would like to cordially welcome you all to the International Conference on Clinical & Medical Microbiology scheduled during May 15-16, 2019 at Brussels, Belgium. This year's theme of this international conference will be:

TO EXPLORE THE MICROBIAL WORLD AND ITS APPLICATIONS FOR THE BENEFIT OF MANKIND

Microbiology in 2019 will no longer be reserved for specialists confined in their laboratory playing with bacteria or viruses, or reserved for writers of crime novels writing disaster scenarios.

Microbiology has indeed invaded the public domain, our radios and our television screens.

This congress: International Conference on Clinical & Medical Microbiology, will bring you the necessary tools to train you but also to be able to answer to a patient sensitized and informed more or less well by the scientific journalists

Who has not listened or seen a show on the Microbiota? Who has not seen an article or a book on this topic?

Microbes, long seen as a threat to our survival, are gradually becoming "that friend who wants us well" and more. This is what we will try to make you feel and understand, especially if you come to

 International Conference on Clinical & Medical Microbiology

 Our sixth sense is microbial

4 billion years during which bacteria have reigned supreme. A little oxygen and life appeared, more and more complex with uninterrupted exchanges that transformed 2 isolated cells into sophisticated organisms for hundreds of thousands of years and for man we now know that we exist since 800,000 years old. With long periods of exchange exploration with the surrounding environment, the contact with the outside environment was made by the vision, smell, taste, hearing, and tact.

But the best, the most important contact with Nature was through this important surface that represents the intestinal wall. Billions of bacteria line this wall which transforms the intestine into a tremendous DATA of immunological, neurological hormonal information regulating all the metabolism of our body:

• The intestinal microbiota is the group of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts) living in our gut.

• Microbiota and Metagenomics are the two trend words of recent years in microbiology laboratories. With them we can find the answers to many diseases such as diabetes, Crohn's disease, schizophrenia and even autism.

• DATA of microbial, biological and neuro-hormonal information that will require dozens and dozens of years of research says the famous Pr Cani

More and more studies confirm the role played by the Microbiota, and as many confirm the role of Mitochondria. But the most interesting studies show the intimate relations that exist between Microbiota and Mitochondria; and that if one wants to intervene on the cell and the Mitochondria, one must intervene on the Microbiota. And the latest discoveries show the possibility of acting on the Microbiota simply by changing the food intake. The food becomes a metabolic modulator, the food can become a therapeutic mediator.

Take the case of immunology, where the role of the Microbiota becomes paramount, I lived during my 50 years of medicine the first period where the diversified diet started very early in the life of the infant. The introduction in the 6th month of different foods, should allow the immune system to get used to these foreign bodies that represent the food tested by the infant. Then came the second period, when it was not necessary to stimulate the immune system of the infant for fear of triggering chain reactions in the lymphoid tissue present behind the intestinal barrier, or better present in the intestinal barrier and representing nearly 70% lymphoid tissue. Indeed the intestinal barrier, we can represent it by 4 protective measures that Nature had taken 1. The thick Mucus, carpet 2. The Microbiota with multiple actions on which we will not extend, insist on its action metabolism throughout our body and on its defense against pathogens that has just been demonstrated by the demonstration of toxic and destructive "crossbows" launched against pathogenic bacteria. The speed of manufacture is tiny and very quickly reproducible if persistence of the danger. 3. The intestinal mucosa itself 4. The intestinal lymphoid tissue responsible for producing 70% of the immune secretion of the whole organism.

That's all that can be discussed during this International Conference on Clinical & Medical Microbiology.

I’d like to extend a hearty welcome to every participant to the International Conference on Medical Imaging and Clinical Research. The main theme of the conference is Medical Imaging For Improved Diagnosis And Treatment, which is very relevant today as the healthcare is transiting from preventive and predictive to personalized medicine. It will be an exciting experience as the conference focusses on wide spectrum of topics of medical imaging. This conference also provides a platform for meeting experts from academics and industries who will be sharing their expertise in the respective fields.

The organizers have taken special interest to encourage young investigators through awards for best poster, best presentation etc. I hope during the conference the participants will get ample opportunity to exchange their research ideas, discuss with the peers in the field, and establish collaborations.

Medical Imaging & Treatment is an interesting area to study and work, as it gives opportunity to contribute for the betterment of the society. We’re aiming to offer through this conference a stage for continuous improvement of our ability and skills. Before I close, I’d like to thank each of you for attending the conference and bringing your expertise to the gathering.  

My hearty welcome and sincere thanks to one and all.

It gives me a great pleasure accepting the invitation to spend few welcoming words about this scientific event taking place in the amazing Rome.

The scientific solidity of this regular event, this time with its 5th International Meeting on Traditional & Alternative Medicine tackles a wide breath topic, i.e. “Theme: Exploring New Horizons in Traditional & Alternative Medicine”. There is only one way to approach medicine and this is evidence-based medicine. On the other hand, there is a wealth of long-standing albeit empirical experiences worth of great attention and great potential exploitation. An unbiased open-mind approach to science, as this event strongly promotes, offers the thrilling opportunity to positively interact among different health professionals availing themselves of a wide array of diagnostic modalities and multifaceted approaches which are still on the verge of full validation by conventional medicine. Instead of being a limitation, this peculiarly interactive milieu can, on the contrary, favors new horizons of medical science by listening unpublished news from key players in the field, interact with them but also for young researchers to present their bench data or personal clinical experience in view of a likely industrial development and fund raising and topic-oriented scholarships too.
I trust this will be a vibrant meeting and wish all the very best to all participants.

Dear Organization,

Mechatronics –with artificial intelligence!

Due to rapid technology advancement, the industries aim to reduce the manpower by incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into mechatronics systems. For example, industrial robots have to be intelligent in the sense of having conscious thought to allow them to make decisions that impact their performance and action. There are many successful applications of genetic algorithms, neural networks, and fuzzy logic for environment exploration, surveillance missions, collaborative object transportation, and many other engineering applications.

The conference provides a platform for students, researchers and engineers to publish works on the development and use of AI in mechatronics systems for emerging areas such as Energy, Health, Education, Manufacturing and Robotics (in marine, aerospace, automotive, military, healthcare, service, etc.). It reflects the multi-disciplinarily of systems from initial concepts to the modelling and simulation (mathematical relationships), creating graphical-user interface (computing software) and their actual implementations (system testing). The conference provides an excellent platform to share applied research results from initial concept to intelligent system design and/or finally to actual implementation.

Thank you very much.

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure for us to welcome you to the “World Congress on Bioavailability & Bioequivalence: BA/BE Studies Summit” which will be held during August 06-07, 2018 in Japan. This scientific event provides a unique opportunity to visit Tokyo in a popular season while meeting peers and colleagues in an international setting. The theme of conference is “BA/BE: Essential Innovation in Public Health Nutrition”. We hope this will really induce a new mindset of “thinking differently” that will stimulate more productive pre-clinical and clinical study outcomes and induce new research concepts.

The great scholar Hippocrates, known as father of medical science, wrote in his famous work On Ancient Medicine: “The art of Medicine would not have been invented at first, nor would it have been made a subject of investigation … but now necessity itself made medicine to be sought out and discovered by men.” We can understand from this simple and essential sentence, why every type of natural sciences must be in cooperation to promote the “good health” and “improve our life quality”. The developing new research activities, which use the most recent technological facilities offer novel diagnostics, technical solutions, medications and therapies for disease prevention, rehabilitation and health care. We are convinced that everyone could understand the strategic significance and value of the cooperative multidisciplinary research to accomplish optimum scientific outcomes. This is the reason why “World Congress on Bioavailability & Bioequivalence: BA/BE Studies Summit” is a great challenge, not only for the contributors own scientific work, but also for the entire human society.

We cordially invite you to participate in the conference by presenting your work as either talks or posters. We hope that you will take advantage of this unique opportunity to interact with eminent scholars, researchers, practitioners and industry representatives from throughout the world whose focus is to develop new and effective solutions to improve world health.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Tokyo, Japan!

Dear All,

It gives me great pleasure to extend to you all a very warm welcome to Cancer Therapy 2018. We have entered a completely new phase in our efforts to cure cancer, as we now have at our therapeutic disposal novel ways to enlist the body’s own T cells in the fight against cancer. Our basic work on thymus immune function, T and B cell antigen recognition, T cell activation, and T cell costimulation, has led to the invention of checkpoint blockade and chimeric antigen receptor T cells. Immunology has certainly spawned immunotherapy which is claiming a seat in the therapeutic pantheon of oncology, next to and perhaps, or hopefully, eventually superseding surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Welcome everybody!

I wish to welcome you to the International Conference on Metabolomics & Systems Biology
being held here in Chicago, Illinois!
As we all realize, advances in both fields have been truly spectacular in recent years! My
own talk will describe entities I have called PREMELTONS, these being small partially
melted-DNA regions that exist at the beginning and ends of genes -- playing a key role in
understanding how DNA transcription takes place.
I apologize for not being able to appear at the meeting – however, I will present this video
entitled, “The centers of premeltons signal the beginning and ends of genes” -- which I am
hoping you will easily understand. You will begin to realize that the existence of premeltons
in DNA may also serve as a framework to understand the general area of epigenetics.
Again – thank you for attending this meeting!

Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen!  

Eminent Conference Participants!                                                                                   

Dear Colleagues!                                                                                                     

I would like to sincerely greet you the participants of the next conference with the series "International Conference on Materials Research and Development" organising by the Meetings International on October 29th-30th, 2018 at Prague, Czechia.

Prague is one of the actual capitals of Europe and one of the most visited cities by tourists. The Vltava River and numerous historic monuments remembering the Middle Ages make the town's charming atmosphere, including Hradčany with the Castle and the Cathedral, the Old Town, the Charles Bridge, the Market Square with a beautiful sunny clock and the Golden Small Street, as well as the Visegrád hill with a little distance from the Center. On November 17th, 1989, after the great manifestation in Vaclav Square, a Velvet Revolution took place in at the time Czechoslovakia,  which after the changes in Poland, Hungary and at the time the German Democratic Republic led to the overthrow of the communist system and political transformation in Czechoslovakia. Prague is the city of many famous people. One breath can be mentioned Vaclav Havel, writer, laborer during communism and the first President of free Czech Republic. Jaroslav Hašek described the adventures of a good soldier Švejk, many of whom are happening in Prague, and the "U Kalicha" inn still exists today. Among the people of culture, I will also mention Bronislav Poloczek, an excellent actor of the historical National Theater in Prague, whom I knew personally because this was my brother-in-law's cousin. Prague is a city of science. Carolinum - today Charles University in Prague is the first university in Central Europe founded in 1348. This is the place of many years of scientific activity of my great Friends: Prof. Zuzanka Trojanová and Prof. Pavel Lukáč, creators and leaders of the Scientific Prague School of the Physics of Materials.

The theme of the Conference is "Accelerating Novel Research in Materials Science". On this occasion, it is impossible not to share a reflection on the contemporary meaning of this scientific discipline. For all of us, it is obvious that each of us is a consumer of numerous goods produced in industrial processes and available on the market. This applies, for example, to a cookie plate, teaspoons, household appliances, a car, a train or an airplane used to move, prostheses or implants necessary for the treatment of serious illnesses, the entire equipment in production facilities, musical instruments to meet cultural needs and thousands of other products. It is obvious that the manufacture of any of these products requires the use of materials. However, consumers are completely uninterested in what the product was made of. They are interested only in functionality, durability, reliability, the safety of use, aesthetics and other product features. The manufacturer must optimise the multi-criteria applied material in a complex manufacturing process, preceded by engineering design. Therefore, engineering design is three inseparable processes of designing: materials, construction, and technology. Progress in material engineering and material technology is an important determinant of how to satisfy complex human needs and of the overall civilisation development.

Knowledge about materials has such a long history as a human civilization, starting from the time when the first ancient man took a stone or piece of wood, to adapt it to his needs and make the first tool. The official development of this scientific discipline began in the 1950s. It is impossible to conclude material engineering achievements in a very short speech. Maybe it's enough to remind the long list of Nobel Prize winners in physics and chemistry to be aware of the made progress in the materials we are witnessing. Examples include Albert Einstein and photovoltaic effect, Alan J. Heeger, Alan MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa, and conductive polymers, J. Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Müller, and high-temperature superconductors, Jack St. Clair Kilby and chip, Harry Kroto, whom I had the privilege to know in person, Robert Curl Jr. and Richard Smalley and fullerenes, Hiroshi Amano, whom I also know personally, Isamu Akasaki and Shūji Nakamura, and a blue light emitting diode. These are just examples of how important modern materials are in modern technology. One of the most modern trends in modern materials engineering is nanotechnology, for which Richard Feynman is widely recognized as Father, and his famous lecture in 1959, "There's plenty of room at the bottom" became the basis of this rapidly growing field of science and technology. In turn, the invention of Ernst Ruska, from 1931, ie transmission electron microscope, made it possible to interpret all phenomena occurring in engineering materials, during and as a result of various technological operations, although also in biology, medicine and other areas of knowledge.

When I started my academic career, half a century ago, I participated in the Scientific Conference, where Fryderyk Staub, an outstanding Polish physical metallurgy expert and founder of the great scientific school, stated on the occasion of his 70th Birthday Anniversary that the magnifier was enough to solve almost all scientific problems in his youth. Last year in Glasgow, when I turned 70 years, opening the Materials Science Conference, I constated that at present I can not imagine solving any scientific problem in the field of nanotechnology and material engineering without the use of a high-resolution transmission electron microscope, using of which we can easily observe projections of individual atoms.

I hope and sure that the Conference that is just beginning will make an important contribution to the development of this scientific discipline. I think that it is worth remembering the words of Albert Einstein "imagination is more important than knowledge". I wish, therefore, to all Conference Participants that imagination will not be lacking for them in acquiring new knowledge.

I wish a successful Conference to you All and nice days spent in hospitable Prague.
