Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite you to participate in the ‘First International NEU DESAM Biotechnology Congress 2024’, which will be held in Nicosia, North Cyprus, from October 17-20, 2024.
The DESAM Research Institute at Near East University (NEU) was founded in 2015 and has excelled in organizing periodic conferences, seminars, workshops, and more. The institute is structured from multidisciplinary fields, including medical practitioners, dentists, health scientists, veterinarians, artificial intelligence experts, mathematicians, and computer engineers, to foster the development of pioneering and innovative studies in the field of health sciences. With a commitment to innovation and knowledge exchange, NEU DESAM Research Institute is now organizing the ‘First International NEU DESAM Biotechnology Congress 2024’ that convene health experts and academic leaders.

The ‘First International NEU DESAM Biotechnology Congress 2024’ aims to provide a platform for individuals from various areas of biotechnology to present and discuss their latest findings, developments, and strategies. Participants from academia and the clinical field, working in medicine, dental medicine, biotechnology, health sciences, and medical engineering, will come together to acquire cutting-edge knowledge and have the opportunity to establish new contacts and collaborations.

The congress will be held in Nicosia, the vibrant capital city of Northern Cyprus, a country that harmoniously blends ancient history, sandy beaches, natural beauty, and cutting-edge innovation. Nicosia uniquely offers a wealth of extraordinary historical and touristic sites that captivate the imagination. Near East University, also situated in this dynamic city, boasts one of the largest museums in the region, the illustrious 'Modern Art Museum'. Additionally, it is home to Cyprus's only car museum and an expansive open-space museum that sprawls across the picturesque campus, inviting congress attendees to explore and be inspired by the rich cultural and scientific heritage of the Eastern Mediterranean.

We encourage you to present your work and participate in this exciting event, and look forward to welcoming you to Nicosia, North Cyprus in October 2024 for the ‘First International NEU DESAM Biotechnology Congress 2024’.
