Bioscope Group

Conferences and courses from Bioscope could be the product of enterprising faculty in Lisbon. Their motto is "at the forefront of science," and they sell books of abstracts (for 200 Euros) from past conferences. They also publish a Journal of Integrated OMICS (JIOMICS), which consists largely of "selected abstracts" from their conferences on such subjects as "Urine OMICS." The "editorial team" on the website is a blank page.

UPDATE (17 Sept. 2019): The website of the journal now lists two editors at www.jiomics.com/index.php/jio/about/editorialTeam. In response to an email from the first editor, Jose Luis Capelo Martinez, I have made changes to the original posting. The most significant is the removal of a statement on the absence of any abstracts on forensic science in the "1st International Caparica Conference On Translational Forensics (FORENSICS 2017), Vol 7, No 1 (2017), Jun 2017 ISSN 2182-0287." The abstracts can be found on pages 54-110 of Issue 2. Additional email with Dr. Martinez confirms that the Bioscope conferences are the work of bona fide academics.
