Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Cancers will consist of selected papers from the “2nd World Congress on Electroporation and Pulsed Electric Fields in Biology, Medicine, Food and Environmental Technologies”. The meeting was held September 24–28, 2017, in Norfolk, Virginia, USA. This cross-disciplinary meeting was organized to bring together the best in biological, industrial and food processing research to catalyze innovations and stimulate discussions and enhance existing collaborations or initiate new ones. The 2nd World Congress is affiliated and organized by the International Society of Electroporation Based Technologies and Treatments. The major topics included in the Congress were: basic biology of electroporation; basics, modeling of electroporation including MD simulations, technology for PEF and large Treatment capacities; technology for electric pulses for research and medical applications; medical applications; food industry applications; environmental applications; micro and nanotechnologies; and non-thermal plasma. The format of this cross-disciplinary meeting afforded attendees the opportunity to hear about the latest research findings in other related fields and to encourage exchange of ideas. This Special Issue will cover the latest research pertaining to Electroporation Based Technologies and Therapeutic Applications. This will include contributions related to basic, as well as applied, science.
