31st FAOBMB Conference & 2025 KSBMB International Conference (FAOBMB 2025)
 

The 31st FAOBMB Conference, in conjunction with the 2025 KSBMB International Conference, will be held from May 18 to 23, 2025, at BEXCO in Busan, South Korea. This conference will bring together experts in the fields of life sciences and biochemistry from around the world to share knowledge and research achievements and explore new opportunities for collaboration. Busan, a vibrant coastal city in Korea, offers not only a dynamic academic exchange but also the chance to experience its beautiful beaches, modern facilities, and rich cultural history. This conference will provide a unique opportunity to enjoy both academic enrichment and the charm of South Korea and Busan.

​

The organising committee is honored to have world-renowned scholars as our plenary speakers, including Thomas SÜDHOF, the 2013 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, V. Narry KIM (SNU), Marcia C. HAIGIS (Harvard Univ), David LIU (MIT), and Kazutoshi MORI (Kyoto Univ). These distinguished speakers will share their valuable insights and latest research findings.

​

The conference will include symposia on 20 topics, covering areas such as Virus, Cell Death, CRISPR/Cas9, Drug Discovery, Epigenetics, Immunology, Neuroscience and the Microbiome. Additionally, there will be an industrial exhibition displaying cutting-edge technologies and research outcomes, along with 10 satellite symposia. We have also prepared a Young Scientist Program, offering international young researchers the opportunity to present their work and network with peers.

​

Participants will gain in-depth knowledge and insights from the diverse range of symposia and satellite symposia. The industrial exhibition will provide a hands-on experience with the latest technologies and equipment, potentially enhancing your research capabilities. Additionally, the networking sessions and Young Scientist Program will offer platforms for engaging with fellow researchers and exploring collaborative opportunities.
