The Malaysian Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (MSBMB) was established in 1973 as a professional body representing biochemists and molecular biologists in Malaysia. The Society aims to be a platform for Malaysian scientists to network and interact locally and internationally via a variety of activities such as conferences, seminars, workshops, special lectures and focus group meetings on matters related to biochemistry & molecular biology. These are often organised in collaboration with universities and research institutions.
The MSBMB is an adhering body to the Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB) and The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB). Members of the MSBMB are therefore eligible to apply for awards and fellowships managed by these 2 international bodies.

18th FAOBMB Congress - 51st MSBMB Conference 2027
The MSBMB is honoured to host the 18th Congress of the Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB).
The Congress is scheduled to be held from 24-27th August 2027 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We look forward to bringing you an engaging, thought-provoking and stimulating Congress that will showcase ground-breaking science, innovative methods and impactful solutions that will benefit our planet, her people and the environment. The symposia topics ‘Molecules of Life, Networks and Systems, Molecular Basis of Health & Disease, Biochemistry in a Sustainable Economy, Bio-Intelligence and Education, Career and Community’ aims to capture the complexity of interactions of life from fundamental theories to applications that stimulate all forms of human activity. The focus on human health and planetary well-being reflects the concerns we all share today on how we can make life better and more sustainable. The Congress will feature scientific lectures, rapid oral sessions, posters, forum discussions, technical panel sharing, industry showcases and many other opportunities for congress participants to engage and network.
The ever-popular Young Scientist Programme (YSP) will precede the main congress, to be held from 21st – 23rd August 2027 in the city of Subang Jaya hosted by Sunway University with satellite events held at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. We are sure that our young scientists will enjoy the scientific programme and social opportunities offered by our hosts.
We warmly welcome all scientists and students from around the world to the 18th FAOBMB Congress in Kuala Lumpur, 24th – 27th August 2027.
We hope you will mark your calendar to make a date with us.
‘Semoga kita bertemu’! which means ‘Hope to see you’ in Bahasa Malaysia.
