偷拍偷窥

For decades, the 偷拍偷窥 and 偷拍偷窥 Biology annual meeting has been held as a part of Experimental Biology, which amalgamated us with several other scientific societies. In 2023, we will forge our own path, holding our annual meeting in Seattle. Save the date now for : March 25–28. We are excited to share the ideas for our first stand-alone meeting in many years and some highlights of our scientific program.

The ASBMB annual meeting is now Discover BMB. It will be held March 25–28 in Seattle.

Big changes, better integration

Once leadership has made a decision, such as completely changing the context in which our annual meeting occurs, nothing is sacrosanct. As a solo meeting, we can optimize the timing of our events — making them more accessible with fewer overlaps and better integrating our award sessions.

As we have learned during the pandemic, the value of an in-person meeting is not in the dissemination of scientific information — this can occur in a virtual setting. An in-person meeting enables scientific debate, community building, mentoring and networking. We are working to enhance the impact of our poster sessions with better scheduling and by including a reception with refreshments at the posters.

The ASBMB Meetings Committee, chaired by , and the ASBMB staff are hard at work to make the 2023 meeting an exciting gathering that enhances existing connections and catalyzes new and exciting opportunities for collaboration and networking. Stay tuned!

Programming the hottest trends

Karen N. Allen is co-chair of the .

We are enthusiastic about our , centered on the latest advances and approaches in biochemistry and molecular biology. The focus on metabolism includes sessions on “Biochemistry of elemental cycling,” a theme that centers on microbes and our environment, and “Advances in organismal and cellular metabolism,” centering on physiology and disease.

Critical biomolecules of the cell are identified, engineered and harnessed for myriad applications in sessions on “Frontiers in carbohydrate synthesis and recognition,” “Lipid dynamics and signals in membrane and protein structure,” and “Regulation of RNA.”

Phase separation and the formation of biomolecular condensates are among the hottest topics in BMB. Their impact is reflected by their presence in multiple sessions. These sessions, providing diverse perspectives using different systems, are “Protein machines and disorder,” “Organelles, mechanisms and phase properties of cellular quality control,” and “Cell signaling — new tools and emerging concepts.”

Over the past five years, artificial intelligence and machine learning, better known as AI and ML, have taken a front seat in our ability to perform and analyze BMB research. The scientific theme “AI and ML in structural biology, drug design and systems biology” highlights the ways in which researchers employ these tools. At the same time, AI and ML can present challenges, as underscored in the theme “Bias in, bias out in data science.” The “Education and professional development” session will include talks devoted to the uses of AI in BMB education.

In an upcoming issue of ASBMB Today, you will see the details of these exciting themes from our session organizers. We look forward to sharing with you the reimagining of our annual meeting and the rediscovery of what BMB is all about. See you in Seattle!
