The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology unites biochemists and molecular biologists in 75 countries and regions.
The IUBMB promotes research and education throughout the world, and especially in countries where the subject is still in its early development.
It achieves this in several ways.
IUBMB President
The IUBMB Leadership Team is made up of biochemistry professors who volunteer their time to find the most effective ways to promote biochemistry and molecular biology to the next generation and around the world - it is such a privilege to be part of it!
IUBMB President-elect
The IUBMB provides me with an opportunity to internationally promote and support the subjects of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology that I am passionate about. It has enabled me to attend many important conferences over the years that have inspired me, also enabled me to meet many students from all over the world and a few of them have come to my lab to undertake research because of these encounters.
IUBMB General Secretary
The IUBMB plays a crucial role in the development of young scientists and promoting Biochemistry and Molecular Biology globally. These are ideals that appeal very strongly to me and it gives me great pleasure to be part of the magnificent team driving these endeavours.
IUBMB Treasurer
Serving as the IUBMB Treasurer represents a unique opportunity to spend my time supporting young scientists and promoting Biochemistry and Molecular biology. This is a privilege since “non exiguum temporis habemus, sed multum perdidimus” (Seneca).
Member for Congresses and Focused Meetings
What I enjoy the most about my role at the IUBMB is to promote biochemistry and molecular biology among young scientists from different countries.
Member for Publications
I enjoy serving the international community of biochemistry and molecular biology, to make my contributions in matters related to publication, nomenclature and others.
Ambassador to Africa
The IUBMB provides several opportunities in outreach projects and a vast network of volunteers to promote molecular biosciences to the next generation in Africa.

A cooperative effort from biochemists around the world explains in different languages how testing for viral genetic material is used to diagnose COVID-19. COVID-19 knows no borders. Neither should understanding the basis of COVID-19 tests.
As of December 17, 2020, we are delighted to announce that the IUBMB has rejoined the International Science Council (ISC) as a Member Union.We are pleased to work with the Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science (SCGES) to promote equal access to science around the world.
IUBMB is committed to ensuring diversity and inclusion in all of its leadership, training and education missions in the field of biochemistry and molecular biology.
