This year's forum includes a scientific conference, lectures and seminars, social events, and a cultural program. Among the discussed topics are biomedicine, biotechnology, biophysics, biochemistry, genetics, bioengineering, bioinformatics, molecular and cell biology, general biology, and physiology. A new program of the Russian Biological Association SymBioSE Russia will be discussed and adopted.
