    Welcome

    Distinguished Colleagues,

    Good day. I bring you greetings from Lagos, Nigeria, and would like to invite you to this year’s ICHAIR Conference.

    Overview of International Conference on Health Advances, Innovation and Research (ICHAIR) 2024

    The International Conference on Health Advances, Innovation, and Research (ICHAIR) aims to bring together postgraduate students, researchers, academic scientists, professionals, and governmental realms to gather, network, exchange, and share their experiences and research findings on different aspects of medical, health, and basic science research related to medical  and public health.The scientific conference has been hosted annually by the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR) since 2011, and it has become the go-to meeting for biomedical professionals across Nigeria and beyond.

    ICHAIR offers a unique, professional, and cultural platform to foster personal and professional growth. We are pleased to invite you again to this year’s conference. During the conference, you may wish to conduct awareness sessions about your programs, services, and advocacy interests. Please see the conference engagement brochure below and contact the listed persons.

    Call for papers:

    In 2024, the ICHAIR will provide a forum to exchange views and findings on research related to basic science and health research. The conference solicits high quality research contributions describing original and unpublished results of conceptual, constructive, experimental, or theoretical work in all areas of health research. Papers submitted to the ICHAIR will be assessed by a scientific committee composed of a wide range of scholars with a good track record in the basic sciences, medical research and social sciences.

    The deadline for submission of papers is August 31, 2024. Decisions on paper acceptance will be communicated by October 1, 2024.

    Conference Proceedings

    All submitted conference papers will be blinded and reviewed by three competent reviewers. The post-conference proceedings will be published. The conference proceedings book and certificate of presentation will be distributed to the conference participants at the conference registration desk.
