The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology unites biochemists and molecular biologists in 79 countries and regions.
The Union 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
What I enjoy most in serving as the IUBMB Treasurer is the good feelings coming from being of some help to young (and not-so-young) fellow scientists all around the planet, with the added bonus of getting a hands-on experience on how Biochemistry may work both on the global scale and in region-specific “microclimates”.
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.
