Welcome message from the organizers
Dear Participants,
On behalf of the organizing committee, we take great pleasure to welcome you all to the 4th Africa
International Biotechnology & Biomedical Conference (AIBBC 2019). If you are attending from outside Kenya, we
say to you “KARIBU KENYA”, and if you are attending from outside Africa, we say to you “KARIBU AFRICA.
Organized biannually since 2014, AIBBC conference series continues to provide unparalleled platform for
multi-disciplinary research sharing, networking and interactions in the increasingly important fields ofbiomedical and biotechnology. Indeed, since its inception in 2014, AIBBC has cemented its position as a premierinternational forum for local and international scientists to meet and discuss new scientific and technologicalinsights with important implications for Africa’s socio-economic growth.
Under the theme “Advancing Research and Innovation for Sustainable Development in Africa”, AIBBC 2019aims to further solidify the gains of the past meetings by providing a platform for research sharing andnetworking in the multi-disciplinary fields of biotechnology and biomedicine, in line with AIBBC’s goals of
promoting human capacity development and supporting research-based innovative approaches to socioeconomic problems that are unique to Africa. AIBBC 2019 has been organized into two parts, namely, hands-onworkshops on advanced biomedical technologies, which will take place in Nairobi at the Institute of Primate
Research and the main conference to be held at the PrideInn Paradise Beach Resort, Convention and Spa in
Mombasa. We are happy to note that a record number of over 250 participants have registered to participate.
The pre-conference workshops (August 26-27), will involve practical demonstrations and hands-on training
under the instruction of world-leading scientists, led by Prof. Paul Robinson of Purdue University, USA. We hopethat the trainings will benefit students and young researchers with hands-on experiences which they will finduseful in their future research and professional undertakings.
The main conference in Mombasa (August 28-31) will bring together both young and senior researchers
drawn from diverse research fields for 2-days of intense scientific exchanges and networking. A rich scientificprogram, including keynote talks by senior scientists, presentations by selected young investigators, and poster
presentations, awaits participants at the most beautiful location in Mombasa. And to conclude the program, we
have organized an exciting biodiversity study tour to Tsavo National Park which boasts a rich flora and fauna.
Definitely, you can look forward to an exciting trip and an unforgettable experience in the African wilderness.
We hope that AIBBC 2019 will inspire you to be the champion for sustainable development through scienceand technology, not only for Africa but also for the whole world. Once again, we welcome you cordially to AIBBC
2019 and we wish you an exciting time. Thank you for choosing to participate in AIBBC 2019. Asanteni sana.
