Great Zimbabwe University is hosting an international conference on Biotechnology for Public health and Bio economy under the theme “Promoting Sustainable Development Goals through Biotechnology.” Biotechnology is typically multi-disciplinary fields with ubiquitous applications in solving problems emerging from diverse complex systems. It has been applied along the value chain to support the development of bio-based industries, ensuring their sustainability and minimizing potential adverse environmental effects. Applied biotechnology has contributed immensely to the attainment of sustainable development goals. This conference therefore provides a platform for academia, industry and commerce to share research breakthroughs, experiences and innovations in the frontiers of Medical Biotechnology and Biotherapeutics, Nanobiotechnology, Plant Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Marine Biotechnology, Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology. We welcome abstracts for articles on empirical studies, best practices, and theoretical reviews related to the above-mentioned main theme.
