The 3rd International Conference on Advancing the Life Sciences and Public Health Awareness

ALPHA 2017 will be held August 1-3, 2017 at the Hiroshima KKR Hotel in partnership with the 4th Asian Symposium on Healthcare Without Borders and the 2nd Asian Conference on Urban Planning and Sustainable Cities (UP-City). 

In addition to the symposium, participants will have an opportunity to visit Hiroshima Peace Park and the famous shrine island of Miyajima — both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

ALPHA 2017 is an excellent opportunity to advance research in the life sciences, raise awareness of public health issues, improve health equity and to commend the important work of researchers and health professionals around the world. In fact, the American Nurses Association has declared 2017 to be the Year of the Healthy Nurse.

With the theme of Making a Difference, ALPHA 2017 aims to raise awareness of the correlation between the life sciences and public health issues. In addition, the conference will focus as other disciplines such as the IT field which is yielding groundbreaking discoveries from novel genes and bio-products to cutting-edge nanotechnology, resulting in a transformed science landscape with profound global applications in understanding life, eradicating diseases, securing a more equitable food and water supply/distribution as well as creating novel bio-industries and products.
