WCMB 2020 Virtual Conference

To accommodate an expected increase in participants, the deadline for submission of abstracts for e-posters has been extended to 1st October.

Conference fees have been greatly reduced, earlybird prices apply up to 1 November, and sponsorship has been obtained to cover over 100 participants from Developing Countries. Virtual registration includes:
