WELCOME MESSAGE
FROM
CONFERENCE CHAIR

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to attend the 30th Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB) Conference , to 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”.

We proudly present the 30th FAOBMB Conference 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.

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.

Finally, Bangkok has many exciting sights and activities to enjoy. It offers an incredible experience where cultural tradition meets modern life, such as world-class food, stunning historical landmarks, and friendly hospitality.

LET US REUNITE! The COVID-19 pandemic has kept us apart for too long. Please mark your calendar now and plan your trip to join us in Bangkok in November 2023.

History of
BMB Thailand

The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Section (BMB Thailand) is an academic arm of the Science Society of Thailand. It was founded in 1973 (as the Biochemistry Section) by a group of pioneer chemists and biochemists from several academic institutes who have greatly contributed to the development of Biochemistry in Thailand. The Section aims to promote growth and development of Biochemistry in Thailand, stimulate knowledge sharing and strengthen the Thai biochemical community. The Section is internationally recognized as a Constituent Member of the Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB) and an Adhering Body of International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB). BMB Thailand has collaborated with various biochemical organizations in holding the national and international symposiums, specific meetings, seminars, workshops and specific educational events. The Section also gives awards to outstanding biochemists and fellowships for young researchers to participate in the conference. With FAOBMB, it has hosted four international FAOBMB congresses/conferences including the 3rd FAOB Congress in 1983, the 11th FAOBMB Symposium in 1994, the 17th FAOBMB Symposium in 2004, and the 13th FAOBMB Congress in 2012. For nearly five decades, the Section and several of its chairs as executive committees of FAOBMB have internationally played active roles in promoting and supporting growth and development of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
