The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is seeking organizers for interest group sessions at Discover BMB, to be held March 23–26 in San Antonio.
Just as with workshops, ASBMB members have the opportunity to shape the meeting program by developing interest group sessions in the following areas:
- Artificial intelligence and structural prediction/drug design
- Biochemistry and climate change
- BMB education and training
- Cancer biology and metabolism
- CRISPR based gene editing
- Gene regulation
- Immunology
- Mass spectrometry-based -omics and disease
- Metabolism and metabolic disease
- Protein structure, synthesis and folding
- Signal transduction
- Vaccine development and delivery systems
Interest group sessions are two-hour minisymposia held on the first day of the meeting, March 23.
Organizers will secure a lineup of diverse speakers and create ample time for Q&A, panel discussions and networking to facilitate community building.
Submit a proposal to lead an interest group.
Decisions will be sent by Oct. 26, at which time a final speaker list will be required.
