May 23: Abstracts due for ASBMB meeting on undergrad education

Join us for a in-person, interactive education-focused ASBMB meeting to learn about engaging approaches to supporting students and faculty in biochemistry and molecular biology. Reconnect with peers, meet new colleagues and increase your network of education-minded professionals while exploring Boston. The early registration and abstract-submission deadline is May 23. The regular registration deadline is June 27. ASBMB Today recently talked with the event's organizers about attendees can expect. Read the interview. Register.

May 24: ASBMB Lipid Research Division Seminar Series presentations on supercool lipids (and proteins condensates too)

The ASBMB Lipid Research Division features the work of young investigators at noon Eastern on Wednesdays. If you are interested in presenting, please contact John Burke. Register once to access the whole series.

This month's presentations are: "Cholesterol esters form supercooled lipid droplets whose nucleation is facilitated by triacylglycerols" by Lauri Vanharanta at the University of Helsinki and Calvin Dumesnil at the French National Centre for Scientific Research and "Coupling of protein condensates to ordered lipid domains determines functional membrane organization" by Hong-Yin Wang at the University of Virginia.

May 25: Women in biotech and pharma

Many scientists are interested in pursuing careers in biotech and pharma when they complete their academic training in biochemistry or molecular biology. However, they often have limited exposure to those environments during their education. At this free webinar, we'll invite four women to share reflections and perspectives on navigating careers in those sectors. Our discussion will incorporate career advice and reflections on how gender dynamics may play out in different environments. We will also reserve time for panelists to answer attendees' questions. Register.

June 20: Abstracts due for our CoA and CoA-derivatives conference

Present your work at an ASBMB conference on CoA and CoA-derivatives Aug. 16–18 at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The organizers are Luigi Puglielli at UW–Madison, Suzanne Jackowski at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and James Ntambi at UW–Madison. The speaker list is available. Abstracts are due June 20. Learn more.

Oct. 28–29: Save the date for our serine proteases virtual conference

This ASBMB virtual conference will focus on membrane-anchored serine proteases and other serine proteases with restricted activities in the pericellular environment relevant to cellular signaling, behavior and protease activity in human disease. The conference traditionally brings together an international group of researchers in the field of serine proteases and pericellular proteolysis. It is rooted in providing an accessible forum for researchers to present their latest findings and technologies and to facilitate an environment for idea exchange, networking and building scientific collaborations. The conference was founded on the principle of providing an intimate venue for junior investigators — especially postdocs and graduate students — to meet with experts in the field from academia and industry to build interactions crucial to future career development.

Call for virtual scientific event proposals

The ASBMB provides members with a virtual platform to share scientific research and accomplishments and to discuss emerging topics and technologies with the BMB community.

The ASBMB will manage the technical aspects, market the event to tens of thousands of contacts and present the digital event live to a remote audience. Additional tools such as polling, Q&A, breakout rooms and post event Twitter chats may be used to facilitate maximum engagement.

Seminars are typically one to two hours long. A workshop or conference might be longer and even span several days.

Prospective organizers may submit proposals at any time. Decisions are usually made within four to six weeks.

Propose an event.
