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.

CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Colleagues,
As we weather the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we hope everyone remains safe and healthy! As announced previously, our annual conference was postponed from August 2020 to August 2021. Due to the uncertainty on whether we can safely organise a face to face event in August of 2021, we have decided to proceed with a virtual event instead so that we hold on to our commitment to bring researchers together and that science continues uninterrupted.
Therefore, I am pleased to announce that the 45th Annual Conference of the MSBMB & 2nd International Health and Medical Science Conference will be held from 18-19th August 2021 as a virtual conference.
Please visit our conference website at for further information.
Thank you,
Anthony Ho, PhD
Chair, 45th MSBMB & 2nd IHMSC
