Program highlights
Scientific symposia
The scientific symposia at the ASBMB annual meeting feature the latest advances and hottest trends in biochemistry and molecular biology. Hear leading experts invited to present and discuss their newest discoveries and cutting-edge approaches.
Featured speakers
Learn about essential, novel fundamental findings; translational opportunities; and the career journeys that will inspire current and future generations of researchers.
Emerging investigator seminar
Find out about the most impressive research being done by graduate students and postdocs, take advantage of career programming, and make connections that will last well beyond the meeting.
Career and education fair
Connect with representatives from top medical and graduate schools as well as academia, government and industry.
Ancillary eventsMore opportunities to present, learn and network
Interest group sessions
Interest group sessions bring together attendees with similar scientific and pedagogical concerns to share key findings, exchange ideas and establish rapport. To keep conversations going, interest groups hold meetups in the exhibit hall during the course of the meeting.
Workshops
Designed and presented by scientists and science educators, workshops at the ASBMB annual meeting complement the meeting's scientific sessions with opportunities to learn and collaborate on topics related to education, professional development or diversity, equity, access and inclusion.
Poster sessions
Poster presentations are chosen from volunteered abstracts and given in the exhibit hall. Poster sessions provide a forum for scientists and educators of all career stages to present their latest research. All poster presenters enjoy live Q&As with attendees.
Meetups
Meetup networking events provide participants with the chance to make new connections during the meeting and help foster impactful collaborations and close-knit, supportive communities. Moderators will be on hand at each meetup to welcome attendees and get the conversations started.
Professional development
The Hub in the exhibit hall will have a variety of career-development and society activities for attendees, including career coaching and networking.
One-on-one mentoring
One-on-one mentoring provides participants the opportunity to obtain mentoring advice on a variety of career related topics such as CV/résumé writing, graduate school survival etc. Appointments can be scheduled onsite at the meeting.
If you are interested in participating as a mentor at the 2025 ASBMB Annual Meeting, you may indicate your interest during the abstract-submission process or during registration. Selection will be based on eligibility and programming needs.
Exhibition
See the latest products and services for the BMB community and talk to company representatives in the exhibit hall.
