This will be the third conference of the
International Association of High Pressure Bioscience
and Biotechnology, which was established in 1998. The
first conference was held at Kyoto (Japan, 2000), and
the second at Dortmund (Germany, 2002).
The conference will provide scientists of different
disciplines including biochemistry, biophysics,
biophysical chemistry, molecular biology, cell biology,
food science, medicine, pharmacology, engineering and
instrumentation, with opportunities to present their
research as well as exchange the latest information on
high-pressure bioscience and biotechnology.
