21st IUBMB & 12th FAOBMB International Congress of Biochemisty and Molecular Biology
Aug 2-7, 2009, Shanghai, China
The 21st IUBMB and the 12th FAOBMB International Congress of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (2009-Congress) will take place in Shanghai on 2-7 August, 2009. The Chinese Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology will host this prestigious Congress.
The 2009-Congress will offer comprehensive advances at the cutting edge of biochemistry and molecular biology, which cover four major themes of life sciences (Genome Dynamics and Gene Regulation; Protein Structure, Dynamics and Proteomics; Cell Signaling and Network; Molecular Basis of Diseases) with a total of 36 symposia; it will also provide additional symposia such as glycobiology and biotechnology.
The Organization Committee has put the greatest effort to invite the world leading scientists to give presentations in the Congress. So far 10 plenary speakers, including three Nobel Laureates, Drs. Aaron J. Ciechanover, Kurt Wüthrich and Sidney Altman, as well as Dr. Shinya Yamanaka who discovered iPS cells and Dr. Victor Ambros who discovered microRNA, have confirmed their participation. In addition, 120 invited speakers have also been confirmed and will give presentations in the different symposia.
The Organization Committee invites you, your colleagues and students to attend this prestigious Congress. The registration is opened from January 1st 2009. For more information and registration online, please visit the following website: http://
The deadline for registration and abstract submission is July 1st, 2009
