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.

30th FAOBMB Conference - 8th Conference of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Section


































Abstract submission deadline extended to 15th AUGUST 2023 

The 30th Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB) Conference will be held at the Centara Grand Hotel, Central Plaza Ladprao, in Bangkok, during 22-25 November 2023. Hosted by BMB Thailand together with the Departments of Biochemistry of Faculty of Science of three major universities, namely, Chulalongkorn, Kasetsart and Mahidol University, the Conference’s theme is “Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in the New Normal Era”.

The 30th FAOBMB Conference will be held in conjunction with the 8th BMB Conference, as a special event in celebrating the 50th Anniversary of BMB Thailand. Organized fully onsite after the long break of COVID-19 pandemic, the three and a half day conference will offer a series of plenary and invited lectures, symposia, workshop, posters and oral presentations, including exhibition and technical talks. This will provide an excellent platform for scientists, researchers, educators, and entrepreneurs to share experiences, to promote creative discussion, as well as to build and strengthen their networks.

Renowned scientists invited to give stimulating lectures include Sir Gregory Winter – the 2018 Nobel Laureate, Prof. Merlin Crossley, Prof. George Fu Gao, Prof. Yukiko Gotoh, Prof. David Craik, and Prof. Pimchai Chaiyen – to mention but a few. Winners of FAOBMB Research and Entrepreneur Awards, and BMB Thailand Award will also present their award-winning achievements.

In addition, an IUBMB-FAOBMB Education Symposium in the theme of “Lifelong Learning for the Changing World in Biochemistry” will be held during the Conference. This will cover a plenary lecture from Prof. Uri Alon, a symposium and a workshop.

Fellowships to attend the conference are available, such as the FAOBMB Travel Fellowships, FAOBMB Education Travel Fellowships for members of the FAOBMB Constituent Societies, as well as BMB Thailand Fellowships.


Young Scientist Progra
mme
Recognizing the important roles of the younger generation, a special Young Biochemists and Molecular Biologists Program will be organized as a pre-conference activity. This exciting 3-day program held at Mahidol University will provide a venue for young scientists to expand their perspectives through the inspiring talks given by renowned scientists (including Nobel laureate, Sir Gregory Winter), and for developing international networks for their future career. Graduate students, researchers or academic staffs (within 5 years of completion of their M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree) can apply for this activity at no extra cost; however, the successful applicants must register and submit abstract/proceedings at the 30th FAOBMB / 8th BMB conference.
