Welcome Letter
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to the 16th International Bioelectrics Symposium (BIOELECTRICS 2023) which will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 10 to 13 September 2023 at the Ramada Lisbon Hotel.
The conference will provide a forum for the exchange of scientific and technical information between industry, academic institutions and research organizations on research and applications with respect to the interactions of electrical stimulus, in particular pulsed electric fields and non-thermal plasmas, with biological cells.
This field, called Bioelectrics, encompasses a broad range of current and emerging research areas, covering multidisciplinary fields from engineering and biology with applications to the medical, environmental, food, energy, and biotechnological fields.
In addition to basic research, the conference will feature the technology, the applications and the various commercial opportunities of Bioelectrics and will not only address the present state-of-the-art but will also highlight future trends.
The main subjects to be discussed include biological responses (molecular, subcellular, cellular and intercellular), biophysics and biochemistry of interaction mechanisms, modelling and simulation of exposures and effects, diagnostics, analytics, experimental techniques, pulsed power devices and methods, cancer treatment and tumor ablation, disinfection, decontamination, hygiene, cell and tissue stimulation, wound healing, biomass processing and biofuel generation, food safety and food preservation, agricultural crops and farmingand biomedical applications.
We also invite you to be one of our exhibitors in the exhibition area and showcase the latest innovation technologies.
We look forward to welcoming you to Lisbon, where we expect that your objectives will be fully achieved.
It will be an honour and a pleasure to welcome you all in person at the BIOELECTRICS 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal.
Looking forward to meeting you all.

About The Venue
The hotel is situated on one of the slopes of Lisbon, with good access and panoramic views of the city and the river Tagus, the Ramada By Wyndham Lisbon is only 10 minutes from the Airport, with direct metro connection, 15 minutes from the lively center from the city with a metro station – Olaias – right outside the door.
Also worth noting is the proximity to the Bela Vista Park, great space for outdoor activities, and direct access to the business and recreational area of Parque das Nações.

About The City
Lisbon is a historical city full of stories to tell, where the sun shines 290 days a year and the temperature rarely drops below 15ºC. A city where you feel safe wandering around day or night, where the cuisine is dedicated to creating over a thousand ways to cook the beloved bacalhau (salted cod), and where you’ll find hotels and restaurants to suit every taste, budget, and requirement.
Discover Lisbon, a city full of authenticity where old customs and ancient history intermix with cultural entertainment and hi-tech innovation. Lisbon is ageless, but it loves company, as you’ll find out if you meet someone and ask them to explain, with lots of gestures and repetition, where the best place is to listen to Fado. After all, Lisbon is famous for its hospitality and the family-like way it welcomes visitors.

Journals
Applied Science
Applied Sciences, an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal on all aspects of applied natural sciences published semimonthly online by MDPI, with IF 2.838, hosted a special issue on “Applications of Pulsed Electric Field (PEFs) Interactions with Biological Cells”, aimed to attract novel contributions covering a wide range of research and applications related to the development of technologies associated with the generation of PEFs, from Pulsed Power generators to treatment chambers, as well as their applications in various domains.
In addition, there were also works presented that describe PEF techniques applied for cancer treatment and tumor ablation, disinfection, decontamination, hygiene, cell and tissue stimulation, wound healing, biomass processing and biofuel generation, food safety and food preservation, agricultural crops, and farming as well as biomedical applications, together with their characteristic diagnostics and analytics.. It featured original research papers that followed from the presentations at the International Bioelectrics Symposium, 10-13 September 2023, as well as general solicited and unsolicited papers.
Guest editors were Prof. Luis Redondo and Prof. Bucur Novac.
