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.

SAVE THE DATE: IUBMB Education Symposium 2025
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.
Young Scientist Programme 2025
On behalf of the 31st FAOBMB Conference, the Organizing Committee is delighted to accept applications for early career researchers to participate in the Young Scientist Program (YSP2025), taking place in the Prestige Biopharma IDC, Busan, Republic of Korea from Sunday 18 - Tuesday 20 May 2025.
YSP2025 will bring together outstanding PhD candidates and early career researchers (<10 years post-PhD) from the FAOBMB region and IUBMB member countries for a 2-day scientific and networking program, prior to the 31st FAOBMB Conference.
During the 2-day scientific and networking program, the outstanding young scientists will have the opportunity to disseminate their research to an international audience, build their global network with peers, and promote their scientific career. As well as presentations from all participants, YSP2025 will include extensive networking opportunities and career-focused workshops. All participants will receive a Travel Fellowship to support their participation at both YSP2025 and 31st FAOBMB Conference.
