We invite you to join us at Biomolecular Horizons 2024: Discover, Create, Innovate to be held in Melbourne, Australia from 22-26 September 2024. 

This important forum will bring together three prestigious congresses, each with a strong history of attracting the Bioscience and Biotechnology communities together to discuss and examine the latest developments and research: 

26th Congress of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB)
17th Congress of the Federation of Asian & Oceanian Biochemists & Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB)
22nd ComBio Conference (ComBio)

This will be the first time the IUBMB Congress will be held in Melbourne and only the third time in the Southern Hemisphere.  It will join with FAOBMB and ComBio to create a truly global forum bringing together renowned scientists from across the world, from Nobel Laureates to early career scientists.

Over the five days, the Congress will offer a series of plenary sessions, semi-plenaries, symposia, workshops, technical talks and poster presentations. There will be a dedicated Young Scientists Program that will precede the Congress in addition to satellite meetings. 

The overarching theme: Biomolecular Horizons 2024: Discover, Create, Innovate will be examined across the key themes: 

Cell, Developmental and Stem Cell Biology
Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology 
Microbial World
Cell Signalling and Metabolism
Genomics, Gene Regulation and Epigenetics
Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and ‘Omics
Structural Biology and Biophysics

You will have the chance to connect with colleagues from across the world exchanging ideas and research and building valuable professional networks that will extend beyond the Congress itself. To complement the scientific program, you will also be able to experience a showcase of the latest products and services in the exhibition, an integral element of the Congress. 

Throughout the Congress, you will experience Melbourne at its finest. It is a truly global city with a rich multicultural mix celebrating the creativity and diversity of its people and the city.
