Our Services
ABS Research Review & Consultation
We offer high quality and timely evaluations as peer review to journal editors, grant assessments for researchers and granting agencies as well as the academic record for academic institutions aspiring to climb the ranks.
Annual Meeting
The MEACR holds a scientific annual meeting in a different Middle-Eastern or North African country each year, in collaboration with a local university, in order to shed light on the latest findings and cancer related breakthroughs in that country and more importantly to build collaborative bridges with other researchers in the world.
Online Community
This future expansion aims to disseminate knowledge in cancer research via providing video tutorials on important techniques, as well as provide a scientific discussion platform to share knowledge within our community.
Past MEACR Meetings
The MEACR officially started its activities with its first executive committee meeting at Aleppo, Syria, in 2010, in collaboration with Aleppo University. Since then, our journey allowed us to shed light on several amazing universities throughout the Middle East and North Africa. However, in light of political unrest in addition to the recent COVID19 outbreak, our mission to hold annual meetings at different universities was interrupted and forced us eventually to move online.
