The First International Conference on Functional Biology is organised by the Institute of Plant Physiology and Genetics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the Section “Plant Physiology and Biochemistry” of the Union of Scientists in Bulgaria.
The conference marks the 15th anniversary of the Institute of Plant Physiology and Genetics, established through the merger of two prestigious research institutions – the Institute of Plant Physiology “Acad. Metodiy Popov” and the Institute of Genetics “Acad. Doncho Kostov”.
Today, Institute of Plant Physiology and Genetics is recognized as a national center for fundamental and applied science research with strengths in plant biology. The Institute advances functional biology by the integration of plant physiology, genetics and molecular biology, supported by interdisciplinary approaches and active national and international collaborations.
This conference will present research aligned with the main scientific directions of IPPG: Molecular Biology and Genetics, Plant Ecophysiology and Experimental Algology, and also encourage dialogue with related disciplines. It aims to bring together researchers and experts to share recent advances in functional biology and explore its diverse, cross-disciplinary applications. Contributions extending beyond plant science are welcome with the goal to foster new collaborations and expand the boundaries of integrative biological research.
