XXI SPB CONGRESS BOOK

Abstract

The University of Évora welcomes YOU at the XXI SPB National Congress of Biochemistry 2020 in 14-16 October 2021 either in person or online! Under challenging conditions, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have managed to organize the National Congress of Biochemistry in a hybrid format, where at least 2/3 of the participants will come to Évora in person. With the pandemic under control and we hope to carry out the Congress both successfully as well as safely. This is the main meeting point for Portuguese Biochemistry Academy, fostering the discussion and dissemination of high-quality research in Biochemistry, both fundamental and applied, taking place in Portugal. The Scientific Program covers a wide range of issues, from Health and Disease to Environment and Drugs development, where Biochemistry is either fundamental or instrumental in the study of complex and transdisciplinary problems in the society. The Congress is a moment of Science and Innovation in several Biochemistry domains, sharing experiences and fostering healthy confraternization. Despite the difficult context, over 160 confirmed registrations and >120 abstracts were submitted, involving the whole Portuguese Biochemical community. Moreover, this year for the first time the Congress has gone eco-friendly, with ePosters only where short poster presentations are encouraged. We hope the congress meets your expectations! The Organizing Committee, on behalf of the Portuguese Biochemical Society, looks forward meeting you, at Colégio do Espírito Santo, University of Évora!
