With this joint congress, GBM and FEBS expect to bring together a wide range of researchers from all across Europe and further afield to explore ‘The Biochemical Basis of Life’.
The organizing team around Prof. Volker Haucke (FMP, Berlin) created an outstanding program:
The congress will cover the entire spectrum of molecular life sciences with symposia on
Mechanisms of Gene Expression
Membranes, Receptors & Bioenergetics
Structural Biology and Biophysics
Systems Biology, Bioinformatics & Theoretical Biology
Molecular Neuroscience
From Chemical Biology to Molecular Medicine
Plenary speakers include Nobel Laureate Randy Schekman (Berkeley), Xiaowei Zhuang (Harvard), Jürgen Knoblich (IMBA, Vienna), Susan Lindquist (Whitehead Institute), Barbara Meyer (Berkeley), Sarah Teichmann (Cambridge), Alberto Kornblihtt (Buenos Aires), Nikolaus Pfanner (Freiburg), and Matthias Mann (MPI Martinsried).
In addition, there will be sessions and plenary discussions, e.g. on the future of scientific publishing, women in science, science & society, careers and education, as well as the Young Scientists’ Forum (YSF) immediately preceding the congress to promote interactions between pre- and post-doctoral scientists.
The program is available at http://www.febs2015.org. Also, registration and abstract submission are possible via the congress website.
To support participation of young scientists, bursaries will be available (age limit 35; for information please visit the congress website).
The Congress will offer ample opportunities for fruitful discussions, as well as the possibility to initiate collaborations and joint projects.
We look forward to meeting you in Berlin 2015!
About GBM
The German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Gesellschaft für Biochemie und Molekularbiologie, GBM) is the largest organization for life sciences in Germany. With its almost 5,300 members, it is committed to serving the interests of all those working and researching in the dynamic and promising disciplines of chemistry, medicine and biology – from professors to first-year students. Whether it is the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), journalists, the authorities, or professional associations in other disciplines: anyone needing to call on expertise in questions of biochemistry and molecular biological sciences turns first and foremost to the GBM. For further information visit http://www.gbm-online.de.
About FEBS
The Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) has become one of Europe's largest organizations in the molecular life sciences, with over 36,000 members across more than 35 biochemistry and molecular biology societies (its 'Constituent Societies') in different countries of Europe and neighbouring regions. FEBS thereby provides a voice to a large part of the academic research and teaching community in Europe and beyond. As a charitable organization, FEBS promotes, encourages and supports biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, molecular biophysics and all related research areas in a variety of ways, with an emphasis in many programmes on scientific exchange and cooperation between scientists working in different countries, and on promotion of the training of early-career scientists.
The various sections of the FEBS website provide an overview of the current aims and work on http://www.febs.org

40th FEBS Congress - The Biochemical Basis of Life You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
