To promote excellence in the global cancer research, Cancer World Congress has initiated a scheme of Awards to recognize the outstanding research contributions made by professionals and inspire the cancer research community.

Current Issues in Molecular Biology (ISSN 1467-3045), one of our supporting journals, will sponsor 200CHF each for two Best Poster Presentations at Cancer World Congress-2024 in Croatia.

Current Issues in Molecular Biology (CIMB) (ISSN 1467-3045) is an international, scientific, peer-reviewed, open-access journal. The journal publishes original articles and reviews in all areas of molecular biology. It is indexed within Scopus, SCIE (Web of Science), PMC, PubMed, Embase, CAPlus / SciFinder, FSTA, AGRIS, and other databases.
