ASBMB is an international organization, and we need to continue to do more to address the needs and interests of our international membership. Just read the table of contents of any of our journals or the lists of our journal editors, and you will see that our authors and editors span the globe. In the months ahead, watch for new collaborations with the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. ASBMB represents all biochemists and molecular biologists, because we share a desire to understand the molecular basis of life.

ASBMB President Suzanne Pfeffer (pfeffer@stanford.edu) is a biochemistry professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
